Ear conditioned love
Trusts the ear
It goes by what it hears
And when that news is great
It soars high in the air
But if that news is bad
It stutters to a stop
It sometimes happens
In the church
Or even at the shop
It’s played across
The ear waves
And impressed upon the mind
It’s a reliable source
Often what one opines
Ear conditioned love
Trusts a mutual friend
Such news is never wrong
And brings about
The end
Someone told me
The other day
They saw some goings on
I know it is the truth
For they are well informed
Ear conditioned love
Sows a doubt
From a tiny little seed
Just someone’s impression
And we are quick to yield
Ear conditioned love
It’s a grumble
A stumble and a rumble
And at the end of it
No one is willing
To humble
Ear conditioned love
Seldom sees
The plan that’s underway
To end a relationship
In ear condition’s way
Ear conditioned love
Is a cooling system
It cools down the affection
That one has for the other
And brings about rejection
Be aware of
Ear conditioned love
Be wary of it too
If you ever have it installed
Then you and yours are through
