The Anti-Love CD (2008)


CHANGE ME
by Roman Riccio

I know that my summertime blues will hit me soon
Just before the 24th I know you will feel it too
Maybe it's a fear a open doors
Maybe it's the thought of open war
That slows me down
Maybe it's the funny look on your face and
Maybe it's just the human race

I've never been one to hear things people tell me
Things people show me think that they know me
They think they can change me

Maybe it's a part of letting go
Maybe it's worse than I could know
I'll be there soon
Maybe it's the empty look in your eyes and
Maybe everything we're told is lies

I've never been one to hear things people tell me
Things people show me think that they know me
They think they can change me




GETTING OVER ALIA
by Roman Riccio & Aaron Bales

Getting over Alia took a long time
And I used to think that I was strong
Getting over Alia took all day
Even though I knew that I was wrong

It should come as no surprise
These Russian girls will hypnotize you

She made me act like a child back in high school
Though she didn't know it at the time
Getting over Alia left me helpless
And then the vultures ripped apart my mind

It should come as no surprise
These Russian girls will hypnotize you
Just be sure to close your eyes and
Don't be scared by your own cries

Getting over Alia was a dark day for me
Getting over Alia was a sad tune
Getting over Alia left me broken




A QUESTION NEVER ASKED
by Roman Riccio

It seems so unfair one minute I'm there
I work up the nerve to try and then I say goodbye

I've barely said hello to this girl
And now I say goodbye to this world

This feeling so intense I let down my defense
It's a question never asked it's a love that cannot last

I've barely said hello to this girl
And now I say goodbye to this world

I've barely said hello to this girl
And now I say goodbye to this world
And now I really know
Why people cry




KICK YOUR CAR
by Roman Riccio

I'm not gonna do it like your girlfriend showed me
I'm not gonna go where your momma told me

I'm gonna take these shoes to wherever you are and kick your car
Yeah kick your car

I had my way with a plastic pony
I may be drunk but I'm not phony

I'm gonna take these shoes to wherever you are and kick your car
Yeah kick your car
I'll walk these shoes across the face of all the girls you like to chase and then
Steal your car yeah steal your car

I'm gonna take these shoes to wherever you are and kick your car
Yeah kick your car
I'll walk these shoes across the face of all the girls you like to chase and then
Steal your car yeah steal your car
And pee on your car
Fast as I can




STEPPING OUT
by Roman Riccio

So you want me to sing a song
About my love
But you're just a girl that don't call me

I want you to sing along
Along with me now
Cause you're just a girl that can't have me

And I'll shock you now as I back away
I've been here before and I'm getting out

So you think that you have it hard
Cause Dave cheated
But you're just a girl that don't need him

And I'll shock you now as I back away
I've been here before and I'm getting out
So have you're song and eat it too
As I'm stepping out of the way from you
I wanna go on alone




5 TO 9
by Roman Riccio & Pat Riccio Jr.

Don't tell me that you love me
You don't know what love is
Don't tell me that you need me
You don't wanna please me

Don't act like you're the victim
Cause you don't know what pain is
Don't tell me that it's over
When you don't really mean it

I want you to forget how you felt before
I need you to understand what I mean

Don't treat me like a lover
Cause all I am is filler
I want you disappointed
When I'm not there to hold you

I want you to forget how you felt before
I need you to understand what I mean
I want you to decide how you feel inside
And my heart wants the answer by 5 to 9




WAITING
by Roman Riccio

My waking hours seem shorter
I'm hanging on the border
What is real slips further
To a place beneath her

And I'm waiting
Will she look down?

In a sleepless journey
She starts to hurt me
My strained emotions
Are causing explosions

And I'm waiting
Will she look down?

And if I kissed her then she would understand
How much I've missed her lonely as I am

And I'm waiting
Will she look down?
I'm contemplating
Will she let me drown?




THE ANTI-LOVE
by Roman Riccio & Brad Park

The problem with girls is they're beautiful
And no two girls are the same
Often I think that I've found the one
When really to her it's just a game

These are the songs of the Anti-Love
I'm trying to understand and make sense of

The problem with girls is they smell so good
Making it hard to stay away
Could this be love that I'm dreaming of
Or some old drug that's so insane

These are the songs of the Anti-Love
I'm trying to understand and make sense of
It's time to set aside this broken heart
Turning these lessons learned into art

The problem with girls is they're onto me
The problem with girls is they know the score

These are the songs of the Anti-Love
I'm trying to understand and make sense of
It's time to set aside this broken heart
Turning these lessons learned into art




TWO MORE INCHES
by Roman Riccio

I was the one who broke us
I don't think sometimes
I just needed a break from you
I didn't realize

You'd give it up so enthusiastic
He thinks of you as a piece of plastic
Tell me truly does two more inches
Make that much difference
Tell me truly does two more inches
Scratch your itches

You were the one that always told me
You like to drink sometimes
I don't mind if you enjoy it just like I like mine
We were the kind that could have lasted
Maybe our whole lives
So what you are saying is Dan's into playing
But you enjoy his size

You give it up so enthusiastic
He thinks of you as a piece of plastic
Tell me truly does two more inches
Make that much difference
Tell me truly does two more inches
Scratch your itches
