 Heartburn

Is this heartbreak, or is this heartburn?
Have I been played, or do I need a Rolaid?
Gotta learn the difference 'tween I love ya,
The difference 'tween I love ya and the symptoms of ebola

Is this heartbreak, or is this heartburn?
Can I be spared from being so dramatic?
Gotta learn the difference 'tween I love ya,
The difference 'tween I love ya and that derailed rollercoaster

Gonna rain down on my sunny Sunday shoes,
Guess best I get some galoshes

Let me tell you that this song's useful,
Yes this song's useful when you're really... drunk!
And you gotta learn the difference 'tween I love ya,
The difference 'tween I love ya and whatever
