BMI Valentine is a satirical song about a country singer who doesn’t appreciate his position in life.
It is the third and final song on Relient K’s Truly Madly Deeply EP.
[Verse 1]
My name's Taylor Jean and I'm an alcoholic
I'm a part of the machine that makes you grab your wallet
When we write the country songs that keep the country folks singing along
A work on Music Row, a tough road to hold
There's some many different girls that I would like to know
And so I check the single box and I end up going out a lot
[Chorus]
It's a lonely life sitting on top of the charts
Only every night, exquisite taste, expensive wine
Now I'm whining like I don't know if I have a heart
BMI Valentine
[Verse 2]
I know it doesn't hurt to have an awesome second verse
But I don't wanna write another line to say 'BMI Valentine'
Again my friends, it's so uncouth to bear it all and tell the truth
[Chorus]
It's a lonely life sitting on top of the charts
Only every night, exquisite taste, expensive wine
And now I'm whining like I don't know if I have a heart
BMI Valentine
[Outro]
