about

I LOVE YOU, YOU ASSHOLE

was (for real) written on the windshield of a car parked outside the Behan. In the snow. Written in the snow with one gloved finger. I loved discovering it, anonymously drawn. I saw it at least 15, 20 years ago, and it never left me. Martha to George (‘Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?’) with a smile. That, or The Perfect wedding song.

lyrics

I LOVE YOU, YOU ASSHOLE

i love you
you asshole
i love you
it’s true
yr an asshole
but i love you
i do
oh oh oh oh

i was crushed
inside a crowded bar
on a Saturday
night
i step outside
& the snow was
falling down
just right

& in the snow
written with just one finger

i love you
you asshole
i love you
it’s true
but yr an asshole
but i love you
i do
oh oh oh oh

there stars are exploding
the streets all silver & black
something inside my cold heart
began to crack
when ya put it like that
written on a windshield
in the snow with yr finger

‘n ya know what? i am an asshole’

i love you
you asshole
i love you
it’s true
but yr an asshole
but i love you
i do
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
