Lyrical Throwdown Thursday: Anymore (Chris Tomlin)

Today’s serving comes from Chris Tomlin and Ross King. Maybe you’re like, who the heck is Ross King? Well he’s an old college buddy of Chris Tomlin and they wrote an album together back in 1998 with this song called Anymore. It is by far one of the funniest songs I’ve every heard! You can listen to the song HERE or see a video of Tomlin playing the song HERE (Thanks Stephen!). Enjoy!

I should have known this
They say that I’m from Mars and you’re from Venus
But I tried it anyway
Who am I to think that I could understand your brain…That’s insane
I guess I love you, that’s the only explanation for what I do
When you are around
Girl I get so crazy when I look into your eyes
It makes me think that

CHORUS:
I am gonna take you right down to the station
Where I’m gonna buy you a one-way ticket out of here
And I’ll send you a postcard from the farthest place from there
And I’ll sign it I’m so glad that you ain’t here
And I’ll build you a big ole ugly statue of my new girlfriend-
The one I left you for
Then I’ll send it C.O.D. express mail to your door
That’s exactly what I’ll do as soon as I don’t love you
anymore That’s for sure

I got this theory the women of the world are out to get me
And I know of one who tried
She seemed to think that I could be her friend for life girl think twice
Cause friends don’t kiss me
And they pay for their own ticket at the movie
So I hope you brought some cash
And you and all your other friends can do what you want to but girl I think we’re thru

CHORUS 2:
I guess I’ll drive you way out in the country
Where I’ll leave you with nothing but your clothes
And I’ll watch you get smaller in the mirror as I drive
And I pray to God that you’ll survive so you can
See me on every single station of your TV singin about you
And makin’ money Just think of all the things I could afford
And I won’t spend a nickel on you cause I don’t think I’ll love you anymore
