This I did to the tune of “You’re Just In Love”, by Irving Berlin, from the musical “Call Me Madam”. It was TOUGH as it’s a counterpoint song. Basically, according to wikipedia, a counterpoint song….”two equal and contrasting melodies running at the same time, both with independent lyrics”.
The first set of lyrics I wrote when I was filled with hope and optimism. The second set of lyrics I wrote several months later. Link is below. As usual, it may take a bit of tweaking for the words to match the music…but it’s pretty accurate. I hate feelings, I REALLY DO. LOL.
Singer 1
I wish he’d see that I love him so.
I’m inclined to date, but he’d say no.
Why he thinks that I am not his type,
I don’t know why.
I don’t know why.
I keep having certain dreams of him
But I’m sure that my prospects are grim.
While he is with someone else I hate,
I’m destined to my fate,
I don’t know why
Singer 2
You’re a fool and a moron
You’re not cute at dusk or dawn.
You’re not blind, you have mirrors too
While you have lots of interests
They are weird, and not on Pinterest
In short, unique through and through
You’re a friend, not a lover
You will not blow your cover.
He can use all the help he needs.
At the end of everything, life is shite, and you’ll just sing
These sad words that you’ve composed.

Singer 1
I’m done thinking that he’s the one
It would have been nice and lots of fun
We get on well and have great rapport
I’m not his type
I’m not his type.
We chat daily and enjoy weird things.
He would even listen when I sing.
But my chances of a date are grim,
While I may think of him,
I’m not his type.
Singer 2
I make barely a ripple
I’m one step above a cripple,
I don’t have a chiselled jaw or chest.
I’m not buff, nor toned or jacked
I am simply stating facts
I’m on the “not so handsome range.”
While I have lots to offer,
Stunning looks, I can’t proffer.
I AM just an ordinary guy.
I’m a fool to think that he
Can bear to see the sight of me
Romance-wise I’m not his type.
