I was 23 and living in the city
|
I met a long-legged blonde on Friday night
|
It was a head on collision of passion
|
We made wild-eyed, loose-lipped love all night
|
On Saturday we went out dancing
|
I could see she wanted to be free
|
She said, "Darling, I'm sorry to leave you this way..."
|
I said, "How can you walk out on me?"
|
|
(Chorus)
|
She said, "Hey, hey, my, my, what's the story?
|
How can you say I broke your heart?
|
Someone as old as you should never look for the truth
|
In promises made in the dark."
|
|
Well, I went back to her apartment
|
I waited all night in my car
|
When she got there I said, "Hey you can't take him to bed!"
|
She said, "Who in the hell do you think you are?"
|
|
Chorus
|
|
When her boyfriend pulled out a revolver
|
I smiled and I said my farewells
|
Love can take you to the sun, love can take you to the moon
|
It's not worth getting you killed
|
|
Chorus
|
