Name: Building A Case
Duration: P00H03M06S
Description: Many married couples spend years building cases against their spouses before they finally work up the nerve to split up. It happens in the dating world, too, just a lot more quickly. I had fun with the words to this song. I literally said the first line of the song to my girlfriend one day and it made me laugh. The rest of the song quickly followed.

lyrics

building a case (words & music by salim nourallah)

you've been to brunch a bunch lately with your best friend, Elaine
you call your mom to talk daily though it gives you migraines
you're looking down your nose and sighing at the way I dress
your body language shows i’m trying and you couldn't care less
have you been building a case, building a case against our love?
have you been building a case, building a case against our love?

are you dreaming of our breakup in some new yoga pants?
dreaming of a foreign boyfriend on a trip to France
why do you pat me on the shoulder when we kiss goodnight?
you’re like my mother leaning over as you shut off the light
have you been building a case, building a case against our love?
have you been building a case, building a case against our love?

do you think that I never notice all the little things you do?
do you think that I am oblivious, that I'm a tongue-tied, love-struck fool?
well, you know you're wrong, you’re wrong

all my friends they like to point out what you're putting me through
and how my life would be much better if I broke up with you
so I could stand around at parties ‘cause I hate to dance
yeah, I could throw back some Bacardi’s, start a new romance
have I been building a case, building a case against our love?
yeah, I’ve been building an case, building a case against our love
I’ve been building a case
