Nonsensical Lyrics:

"If"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?

Why They're Nonsensical:

I wonder that myself, because the word 'you' has only three letters. Maybe it's choosing the color that's so vexing.

Submitted by: Joey

"Everything I Own"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

I would give any thing I own,
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own, just to have you back again.

Why They're Nonsensical:

If David Gates, who wrote this song ( and also the yukky 'Goodbye Girl') gave up his life, i.e., commited suicide, he wouldn't be around to welcome his lost love back, would he?
