This is a sad "love gone wrong on the
Internet" song and was my first big hit after my comeback tour. You might want to have some facial tissues around just in case the experience is too intense.
Lester Picasso drew the illustrations for the video. You can find it here:
YouTube: The Night Your Face Fell Off Facebook
I've added some of Lester's artwork below.
Everybody likes a sing-a-long so here's the lyrics:
I saw your face on Facebook,
And knew you were the one.
To change my lonely outlook,
Our love life had begun.
Your profile picture looked fine,
So I sent a friend request.
And when you did not decline,
I felt like I'd been blessed.
You found the password to my heart,
And started tagging me.
But like an old greeter at Walmart,
There were clouds I could not see.
I could not comprehend,
All those guys that followed you.
I asked Why not just unfriend,
Just a baker's dozen or two?
The night your face fell off Facebook,
The night you chose to unfollow me.
The night your face fell off Facebook,
I became love's online casualty.
Oh, darling, why can't we reset to the way things used to be?
Was it that photograph I posted?
I thought it showed the best part of me.
If only you'd change your account settings,
and make me once more your friend,
I promise, cross my heart, I won't upload nothing like that again.
The night your face fell off Facebook,
The night you chose to unfollow me.
The night your face fell off Facebook,
I became love's online casualty.
I became love's online casualty.
