Im keepin my affair in a book    So this is how a villain feels    Theyre running seasons in my chest    And im only to keep them       Chorus:   Maybe its not true    Love on the tv    Just like we imagine it    And its so hard to do    When theres always some distraction    A shiny red balloon   That spoils everything      Im keepin my affair in a book    Such practical and harmless vice    But im feelin it could end up painfully    And the tv should apologize       Im keepin my affair in a book    My long and lonely compromise    How can you live like that my dear    Well we do       It spoils everything
