Take a look at this picture
The colors are backwards
The road is white
The sky is black
A man is smiling
In a greenish hue
There’s an orange tear on the purple cheek
Of a woman who looks like you

He steals a kiss
When you’re not ready
He leans on you
To start going steady
He says, “I want you
Move in with me”
A week goes by
And you’re too much company

This isn’t love
This isn’t love
There’s nothing good about it
This isn’t love
This isn’t love
There’s nothing positive about it
It’s the photonegative of love
Where you see orange
It should be blue

When he calls on Wednesday
To make a date with you
Where you seen green
It should be red

When he’s too tired to go out
But he’ll still stay in your bed
This isn’t love
This isn’t love
There’s nothing good about it
This isn’t love
This isn’t love
There’s nothing positive about it
It’s the photonegative of love

You’ve got the solution
Right on the shelf
You don’t even have to learn to
Trust yourself
It’s science, baby
If you develop it right
I know you’re gonna see the light

You’ll see the red flags
That once were green
And sometimes nice guys
Aren’t what they seem It’s gonna be different
But don’t despair
There might be a friendly face in the background
You didn’t know was there
