StrangeLove

Strange ain't the word for the new VH1 Show with Flavor Flav and Bigfoot. I think these two are meant for each other. They're two polar opposites, brought together by their mutual eccentricity. He, the ghetto jester raised on hip-hop... and she, the former fashion model turned sasquatch, bred on the finer things. You have to admire their chutzpah, Flav flies across the world to try and rip her away from the Italian boytoy to whom she's engaged. A romantic gesture doomed from the beginning. Flav's tenacity is second to none. He knows he's totally no good for her, she knows she can never be with a guy like him. Despite that, he knows in his heart he needs to be with her. Not for the fame, not for the fortune (unless they really believe there's no such thing as bad publicity). Maybe he sees in her everything he isn't: a strong sophisticated person who grabs life by horns and doesn't let go and can survive anything. Maybe she sees in him everything she isn't: someone with a big heart, and lets it all hang out without a care... or maybe thats what makes them the same. Maybe she sees in him a lost soul with no road map. You can see this when he gets angry whenever he feels inadequate, like when she tells him to take out his gold toofs. Beyond all of that, he knows its love. He knows what he feels for her. He's gotta know she's never going to drop everything and be Mrs. Flav. But he knows its love, and for a few fleeting moments he wanted to feel that fire. Love is like a dying ember, and only memories remain. Will they get together and walk down that aisle at the funky Vegas wedding chapel? Only time will tell... or you can just watch the show.

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life

She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
And nothing at all keeps sending him...

Somewhere back in her long ago
Where he can still believe there's a place in her life
Someday, somewhere, she will return

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
What seems to be
Is always better than nothing
There's nothing at all
But what a fool believes he sees...
