Finding Mr. Right: Search for Love's Truest Match
People cringe at the idea of reality TV because of its lack of reality
Still they tune into these programs to turn off their brains
Roll their eyes at the silliest unfolding on their screens
Turned on the television to watch the first episode of new show
The host described that true love is just around the corner
Everyone looked simultaneously to find only their dog was
Caused nothing but a stifled laugh at the idea of love
Being so close and yet so far that it was invisible to you
Sounds like a commercial for a ridiculous product
That had no real hope of working; everyone just bought for curiosity
Or due to an addiction of watching those shopping channels
Now, back to the show's scandalous synopsis about the star
One person's quest for true love wrapped in a single season
Full of brief dates in one on one sessions or in a group one
Cameras recording every word, every kiss, and every moment
Nothing was off-limits and hard to tell if any of it was real
Could be a backhanded grab for reality show infamy
How do you truly know someone when millions of people
Were watching and dissecting your every move and decision
Hard to tell if someone was being genuine or putting on a play
By pretending to be someone they're not to win a contest
A rigged contest where the winners determine if both
Are made for each other in holy matrimony or a long engagement
Realizing that staged compatibility failed once the cameras were off
Viewers found something else to watch and gossip about at work
A future that was unsustainable and livable by EPA standards
Two people who had nothing in common except a false idea of love
Lack of chemistry and connection made the supposed engagement
Come apart at the seams; ring returned in two months or less
End up on the spin-off show finding a new connection on an island
More drama ensues and one of them walks away into the sunset
With someone else and their own show to boot
All's well that ends well, sort of
One of them still had to leave alone to the confines of their bleak future
While their original intended had no intentions of looking back
Figuring out what it means to love yourself
Before choosing to allow someone else to join the party
No cameras necessary, thankfully.
