No, of course not.
You don’t have to.
You don’t need to say it.
Not if you don’t feel it.
You embody it, that’s all.
The way you hold me
kiss me
pass me pepper
bring me coffee
(five long beats) disagreeeeee with me
throw popcorn at me
throw your arm around me
This is just a test!
(Think that clunky 80’s 86 bpm dance beat)
Just a test
In all the fuss and fury
Just a test
of modern life it comes
Just a test
no speed but hurry
Just a test
no percussion but taiko drums
when performing romance
Just a test
a pirouette or two
Just a test
you line out a paraph (note, you can pronounce it either way, I prefer
second syllable emphasis)
on your paragraph
mess it up
with a pedestrian ‘I love you’
Now maybe once in fifteen
Just a test
years I get those magick words
Just a test
Mostly unforeseen
Just a test
it comes out like a blurt
Just a test
I get to wondering
Just a test
Is it really real
but I’m a materialist baby
I’m all about the way you make me feel
extremely horn and reed-intense instrumental, including a bass line that makes you want square up conga style and wend your way through the neighbourhood
This is just a test!
