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

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.

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.

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.
