REX - LOVE BABY LOVE (1996)
Oh, she was just fourteen and he was thirteen and a half
She was the prettiest thing he had ever seen in his whole life
"Hey hello", he said, "my name is Josh and I love you"
She says, "well, that's too bad, you see
I don't date boys like you, you're just thirteen"
"And a half", he said trying to look mean
Oh, love baby love, well it can tear you up
You can run away, but you can never get enough
Love baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love
Oh, he is thirthy-two, hasn't touched a woman in his life
He's got a brand new suit oh and tonight will be the night
Fifty bucks he saved last week in the ..
As he walks the streets until he finds a girl who looks just like Marie
Back in Omaha when he had the chance, he fell asleep
Oh, love baby love, well it can tear you up
You can run away, but you can never get enough
Love baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love
Oh, he is fourty-four, he's got a wife, three kids and a dog
Very, very, very fine house and some friends he kinda loves
Yesterday, he met this boy in the park
Guess he always knew, now he knows, not what to do
Oh, love baby love, well it can tear you up
You can run away, but you can never get enough
Love baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love
Baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love
Baby love, baby love, baby love, baby love
You look in her eyes to see if there is something to hide
You're trying to find a reason, an answer, a lie
You hate to admit but you know that it's true
There is nothing to look for at all
She touches your hair like a mother would do
And picks up the phone to make a few calls so you
You ask her once more and she says it's been said and that's all
You stare at the floor, watching the curtain fall
She says it's not you and it's nothing you said
But that some things just seem to change
You look in her eyes and it scares you to death
To think that one day you might just feel the same
And that all this was just a mistake
Oh, please don't go, don't go, don't go, just go
Just go
Please don't go, don't go, don't go
Just go, just go
And close the door so the cat won't get out
I haven't noticed the silence until I suddenly heard myself talking
And I quickly shut up, embarassed as I was quite affected that there was no one there
At the same time frightened in my veins
No one who could look in the world this would be virtually impossible you see
No one ever gets in here, just as I never get out
It's better that way, it's better for anyone who's concerned
Every once in a while though I sneak out and
I walk to the other side of the street where I just stand for an hour or so
Watching the lights coming from my window
This reminds me of how lucky I am to have a home
I like to be inside, it's just gives you a lot of fuel
People, inside, they're stuck you know
I like your blouse, you like my shoes, small talk fills the air
I try to find a dumb excuse, just to touch your hair
You tell me about your boyfriend and how he treats you really nice
But memories cover my ears and I don't hear a word you say
Has it really been a year, it seems like yesterday
And to me, you're still my girl, to me you're still my girl
What can we do, but laugh about the way things ended up
We sit and watch the sun go down, drink wine out a paper cup
And ofcourse we both agree no matter what, we'll still be friends
But how comes it feels really strange when you suddenly touch my hand
I watch our shadows slowly fade, I want the day to end and
To me, you're still my girl, to me you're still my girl
We're walking on, discussing life and all of you found friends
The future never seems so bright and I want to but I can't
Stop thinking about the times when nothing mattered much at all
It's getting late, it's getting cold and I let you have my coat
I hide around a corner, watch you walking down the road
There goes my girl, there goes my girl
Fun fun fun, fun fun, all the fun
And nothing much to do but watching you get undressed
Fun fun fun, fun fun, the sun is shining like it has for the past couple of months
Fun fun fun, fun fun, what is gone wrong
Don't know who is to blame, it's just a game, nothing we like, angry hearts
We're friday night and I am not so, so hard to find
Too much too drink and too much on my mind
And you walk in with all your fancy friends
And I just can't stop staring, oh there is no harm and
You walk up to the bar and you order some, some strange coloured drink
And I, I don't know where to look and I just don't know what to think
But I can see you now for in the afternoon tea
With one in the oven and one on your knee
You know that we could have been, we could have been, we could have been
So happy, so happy
Now you're stuck in your world and I am pretty stuck in mine
And I don't think that one of us is gonna cross that line sort of
There be no wedding and you'll never be mine
And I'll just sit here staring at you until closing time
Bu you know that we could have been, we could have been, we could have been
So happy, so happy
Floaty got your lines up every ..
Making this clear for so many times
Never do I hear you call the things I said
In all those times keeping my own head
In my head, in my head
Proud just wouldn't be easy by the newly
Proud of all the things that I would never say
And isn't it funny how all the sounds coming from the street suddenly seem to change
Any of the little voices in my head make it clear now, it's been another year
She's got a nineteen year old smile and an eternal look in her eyes
That makes you wanna look away
Just to find you've gone through a circle in this, know it's ok
Happiness is where I belong, black leather coat these days
Just as it advices me as some spirit of Christmas' past of this .. drink
A reminder of the way you used to be
I'll have a musquar in the evening and a headache in the morning, when I leave you
With a lie on my lips, trying to find a woman on my mind
And I lay my head to rest on a pillow, with your name
Happiness is where I belong, black leather coat these days
Now this is all I ever wanted and I guess all is nothing, nothing as me
Dead end street and endless conversations and I'm falling asleep
And I lay my head to rest on a pillow, with your name
Happiness is where I belong, black leather coat these days
Now I wish I had a tv-set built in my eyes
And everytime you would make me cry I know I could just watch another show
And I wish I had a cd-player in my ears
And I'd listen to the music I'd like to hear
And I'd go see every band with a remote control in my hand
And I wish the birds were fish
And I wish had a four-wheel drive in my heels and
Everytime I feel the tension grow I could just get of the road
And I wish I had a central heating system in my head
And I wish I was someone dead, at least I know someone a long time ago
And I wish the birds were fish
And I wish I had you back in my life
That it all turned into another life
Baby I got news, baby I got loose
And I wish the birds were fish
And I wish, take with me a ..
I believe that it is a normal reaction for a man to love
This love can be given to a dog, a kitten, another man or female
I believe that it is a normal reaction for a man to love
I believe that it is a normal reaction for a man to love
The love that formerly dared not speak its name today will not shut up
