If they made a movie bout you and me
It would go straight to DVD
Though the music’s good, but the acting’s not
There ain’t no dialogue and there ain’t no plot

If they made a film about me and you
It would never get a good review
You act so smooth in the steamy scenes
But there ain’t no fire you don’t know what it means

The movie of you and me would go straight to DVD
The story of you and me would go straight to DVD

Would it be a movie bout love or war
We don’t even know what we’re fighting for
It was sometimes good and sometimes great
But mostly now it’s like a boring date

The movie of you and me would go straight to DVD
The story of you and me would go straight to DVD

Now there are no surprises the temperature rarely rises
Maybe we’re just pretending there’ll be a happy ending

If they made a movie bout you and me
It would go straight to DVD
Though the music’s good but the acting’s not
There ain’t no dialogue and there ain’t no plot

The movie of you and me would go straight to DVD
The story of you and me would go straight to DVD
