National Song Lyric Day should be a holiday where we have to speak only in song lyrics.

You must be an angel.

I believe that dreams come true.

Dream on.

The beat goes on.

Silk boxers.

And who wants to dry clean their underwear?

Still, if Tom Ford says it’s ok then I’m game for silk wedgies.

Resting bitch face?

Please.

As long as I’m awake my game is fully active.

It’s called work ethic.
