lyrics

Haven’t had much luck in love
As far as I can tell
More than once I’ve made the mistake
Of thinking I knew my lover well
So I went to my local newsstand
To try and find advice that I could understand

I’ve been reading Cosmo
To figure out what I’m doing wrong
I’ve been reading Cosmo
Now I know
Everything that I do is wrong

Right away I find I’m in trouble
It’s becoming clear
All my faults could be overlooked
If I only looked like Richard Gere
And every fight I’ve ever been in
I was fool enough to think that I could win

I’ve been reading Cosmo
To figure out what I’m doing wrong
I’ve been reading Cosmo
Now I know
Everything that I do is wrong

I bet it must drive a woman crazy
Always dreaming of a 23-inch waist
Having all her so-called imperfections
Shoved right in her face
And what about this game called love?
It’s a wonder anybody plays
How can anyone expect to keep up
When the rules change every 30 days?

Thought I’d finally found all the answers
Thought I’d found a brand-new plan
Till I came to the section titled
“20 Ways To Find A Man”
What would women do if they knew
That the girls at Cosmo
Haven’t got a clue?

I’ve been reading Cosmo
And everything it says is wrong
I’ve been reading Cosmo
I wanna know
What planet have they been living on?
‘Cause everything it says is wrong
