Romance Scam from Christmas Again by Mike Farshimmelt

[Instrumental]

She showered me with affection,
Felt a real connection.
Said I loved her with all my heart,
She swore we'd never part.
[Instrumental]

Hours online, our love grew strong,
Like a fine wine, where we both belonged.
So much in common, peas in a pod,
Our love didn't dampen, blessed by God.
Chorus
Loved her to bits, but it's a sham,
A woeful victim of a romance scam.
One day she announced she's coming to visit,
I felt unworthy, a bit of a Bridget.
My height brings anxiety, it's just not right,
A short man's struggle, day and night.

[Instrumental]

Told my belle I was short,
She said it made her love me more, no second thought.
She lived in America, needed money sent,
"No worries," I said, my funds I freely lent.
[Instrumental]
Then came large expenses, unforeseen costs,
I paid every time, fearing my love's loss.
Nearly bankrupt, funds completely drained,
Felt utterly fucked, my future stained.

[Chorus]

Loved her to bits, but it's a sham,
A woeful victim of a romance scam.

It dawned on me, slowly but surely,
I was being scammed, feeling so poorly.
Friends and family were right after all,
But I wouldn't listen, "pride before a fall."

[Instrumental]

The injustice, it's so appalling,
I cry every night, right through to the morning.
My belle is a beau...., I've sadly found,
An imposter, a fraud, on shady ground.

[chorus]

Loved her to bits, but it's a sham,
A woeful victim of a romance scam.

Loved her to bits....but it's a sham
it's a sham....it's a sham
