Your Favorite Lyrics

Everybody has a favorite song, but lyrics are something totally different. They have deeper meanings and make the song you like what it is. So with that being said, what are your favorite lyrics to a song?

 

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

-John Lennon
Imagine

Day after day, alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning round.

Well on the way, head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking percetly loud,
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make,
And he never seems to notice,

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning round.

(solo)

And nobody seems to like him,
They can tell what he wants to do,
And he never shows his feelings,

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning round.

Ohh-ohh-oh-ohhh-oh-oh!

And round, and round, and round, and round, and round...

He never listens to them,
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning round.

Ohhhh, ohhhh!

-The Beatles
The Fool on the Hill

Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been,
lives in a dream,
waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door.
Who is it for?

All the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people.
Where do they all belong?

Father McKenzie writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear,
no one comes near,
look at him working. Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there.
What does he care?

All the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people.
Where do they all belong?

Ah, look at all the lonely people.
Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby, died in the church and was buried along with her name,
nobody came.
Father McKenzie wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave,
no one was saved.

All the lonely people.
Where do they all come from?
All the lonely people.
Where do they all belong?

-The Beatles
Eleanor Rigby

You say you want a revolution,
well, you know,
we all want to change the world.
You tell me that it's evolution,
well, you know,
we all want to change the world.
But when you talk about destruction,
don't you know you can count me out.
Don't you know it's gonna be alright.
Alright. Alright.

You say you got a real solution,
well, you know,
we'd all love to see the plan.
You ask me for a contribution,
well, you know,
we're doing what we can.
But when you want money for people with minds that hate,
all I can tell you is brother you have to wait.
Don't you know it's gonna be alright.
Alright. Alright.

You say you'll change the constitution,
well, you know,
we all want to change your head.
You tell me it's the institution,
well, you know,
you better free your mind instead.
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
you ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow.
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright.
Alright. Alright.

Alright. Alright.
Alright. Alright.
Alright. Alright.
Alright. Alright.

Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran or Reel Big Fish

Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf!

Bullet With Butterfly Wings - Smashing Pumpkins

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage!

5 o'clock World - The Vogues

Up every morning just to keep a job
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob.
Sounds of the city pounding in my brain,
While another day goes down the drain.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, it's a 5 O'clock World when the whistle blows
No one owns a piece of my time.
And there's a 5 O'clock me inside my clothes
Thinking that the world looks fine...yeah.

Can't Even Tell - Soul Asylum

I may never get what I want
But I'm happy just to die trying
And I hope I ain't done nobody wrong
But I miss you smiling
And I'm looking for a cure cause I'm bored to tears
And I'm stuck in here, stuck out here, stuck in here
We lived through another day
It's a good excuse to celebrate
Take a number knock on wood
Find a reason to feel good
I know you know you wanna know how I feel
I can't even tell

C'Mon C'mon - Von Bodies

On another day c'mon c'mon
With these ropes I tied can we do no wrong
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

With my teeth locked down I can see the blood
Of a thousand men who have come and gone
Now we grieve cause now is gone
Things were good when we were young

Is it safe to say? (c'mon c'mon)
Was it right to leave? (c'mon c'mon)
Will I ever learn? (c'mon c'mon)
(c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon)

Vindicated by Dashboard Coffessional

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

 

Now the blow's been softened,
since the air we breathe's our coffin.
Well now the blow's been softened,
since the ocean is our coffin.
Often times you know our laughter
is your coffin ever after.
And you know the blow's been softened,
since the world is our coffin.
Well now the blow's been softened
since we are our own damn coffins.
Well everybody's talkin' about their short lists.
Everybody's talkin' about death.

from Satin in a Coffin by Modest Mouse


It's hard to see the sun sometimes
through these eyes.

It's hard to see the truth sometimes
looking through these eyes
But yet I try.

Window sill world of mine.
Maybe sometime
I'll get up and go outside.

Leap of faith.
I could close mv eves and jump.
The hope of someday is safer
and it doesn't hurt as much.

I stand at the edge of the world and I cry.
The rain beating down on my face as I try
to swallow my fear of failing again
and wait for the clouds to break for the sun.

Do you remember the time
when you said you could see
the worrv in mv eves?
You don't know how hard I've tried
to let it go, let it go, let it all subside.

It all seems so different when I
look into vour eves.
It alt seems so simple when I
look in from the outside.
Yeah, everything seems fine.

You know me better than I know myself.
And I trust you more than I trust anyone else.
But promises broken are promises made.
At least from what I've seen, it all fades away.

Blindspot by Brandtson


Under an eclipse of ever-rising feeling
Moving faster through my veins
And bleeding out the sun
That?s bleeding down our necks
And burning my eyes
If this is a crutch for the weak
Then I am the least of these
So cut off my arms and break my legs
So I don?t feel this anymore
Choking on all of the feeling
That I?m swallowing in
Tasting the failure on my lips
That I?ve lead in
And this is my last chance for survival
A last ditch effort to cure my ache
We?re so vain aren?t we?
We?re so proud and empty
We?re left leaning on our only intrigue
The lies that I?ve told won?t bury us whole
They won?t find us time
This is the end of the story that I can forget
This goes far beyond our loyalties
And we feign as a shield
That?s teeming with guilt and resonance
But we held our heads so high
We have not yet defeated failure

Failure on my Lips by Beloved

 

Finger Eleven

Thousand Mile Wish

Forgive me if now I wear the face of worry
This time alone could never cause any doubt
But I?ve been cold too long
Such a strange time to find myself coming down as the rain
With all the holes my love,
To fill up from the middle
This storm could stay all night

So can you stay until we close our eyes
Til your dreams hold mine
Just stay until we know we tried one more time

Cause laughing lovers can overcome their closest demons
And they?ll go on and they won?t let go
They saw something that they know
Has never come so close
Can it stay here for us, for now?

Can it stay until we know ourselves?
I?m torn as I tell
You?re the story that I know and fell from
I?m so far into your story I don?t know why
We think we?re in control
When we lie between the lines

We?ll find a line to follow
It?s got to show real soon
Or we?ll never reach this high

We climb a little further
Cause there?s nothing we can?t get around together
Further gets colder until nothing was all that I saw around

So we stay until the ground
That we can?t come down from splits us away
Maybe stars know why we fall
I just wish they were thinking out loud
Oh, I could wish all night

 

Hey Jupiter - Tori Amos
I go from day to day
I know where the cupboards are
I know where the car is parked
I know he isn't you.

Spark - Tori Amos
6:58 are you sure where my spark is?

Space Dog - Tori Amos
deck the halls
i'm young again
i'm you again
racing turtles
the grapefruit is winning
seems i keep getting this story twisted
so where's neil when you need him
deck the halls
it's you again
it's you again
somewhere someone must know the ending
is she still pissing in the river now
heard she'd gone
moved into a trailer park

I can't see New York - Tori Amos
and you said
and you did
and you said
you could find me
here and you said you would
find me even in Death
and you said
and you said
You'd find me

You were meant for me - Jewel
I saw a movie it just wasn't the same
'Cause it was happy and I was sad
It made me miss you oh so bad

 

Strawberry fields Forever
The Beatles

Let me take you down,
?Cos I?m going to Strawberry fields.
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see.
It?s getting to be someone.
But it all works out,
It doesn?t matter much to me.
Let me take you down,
?Cos I?m going to Strawberry fields.
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree,
I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can?t you know tune in.
But it?s all right.
That is I think it?s not too bad.
Let me take you down,
?Cos I?m going to Strawberry fields.
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, I think it?s me,
But you know I know when it?s a dream.
I think I know I mean a ?Yes?.
But it?s all wrong.
That is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down,
?Cos I?m going to Strawberry fields.
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry fields forever.
Strawberry fields forever.

I don't interpret it as a song involving drug use, but of relaxation and thought. Strawberry Fields is a place of contemplation and muses. It is where one goes when one daydreams. Strawberry Fields is where muses the play, and there's no need to get worried as we simply cannot harm anything or be worried with what happens there.

 

If you twist and turn away.
It you tear yourself in two again.
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go.
Surrender, dislocate.

If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind.
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame.

If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day.

To let it go and so to find a way.
To let it go and so find a way.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake, wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.

If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag.
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes.

If I could, you know I would
If I could, I would let it go.

This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go and so to find a way
To let it go and so to find a way
To let it go and so to find a way

I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no.

Same here, all that "I buried Paul" crap is just a waste of time. No music should be taken that seriously.

 

Only in Dreams, by Weezer, the ultimate geek rock love ballad:



You can't resist her
She's in your bones
She is your marrow
And your ride home

You can't avoid her
She's in the air
In between molecules
Of Oxygen and carbon dioxide

Only in dreams
We see what it means
Reach out our hands
Hold on to hers
But when we wake
It's all been erased
And so it seems
Only in dreams

You walk up to her
Ask her to dance
She says "hey, baby I just might take the chance"
You say "It's a good thing
That you float in the air
That way there's no way I will crush your pretty toenails into a thousand pieces."
Only in dreams.

 

In A Little While-U2

In a little while
Surely you'll be mine
In a little while... I'll be there
In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there?

In a little while
I won't be blown by every breeze
Friday night running to Sunday on my knees
That girl, that girl she's mine
Well I've known her since,
Since she was

A little girl with Spanish eyes
When I saw her first in a pram they pushed her by
Oh my, my how you've grown
Well it's been, it's been... a little while

ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Slow down my beating heart
A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocket ship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail, the scatter of light
Turn it on, turn it on, you turn me on

Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love

 

"Lord, Mr. Ford" lyrics by Dick Feller (sung by Jerry Reed)

Well, if you're one of the millions who own one of them gas drinking, piston clinking,
air polluting, smoke belching, four wheeled buggies from Detroit City, then pay attention;
I'm about to sing your song, son.

Well, I'm not a man appointed judge
To bear ill-will and hold a grudge
But I think it's time I said me a few choice words
All about that demon automobile
A metal box with the polyglass wheel
The end result to the dream of Henry Ford
Well, I've got a car that's mine alone
That me and the finance company own
A ready made pile of manufactured grief
And if I ain't out of gas in the pouring rain
I'm a-changing a flat in a hurricane
I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf
Well, it ain't just the smoke and the traffic jam
That makes me the bitter fool I am
But this four wheel buggy is a-dollaring me to death
For gas and oils and fluids and grease
And wires and tires and anti-freeze
And them accessories, well honey that's something else
Well, you can get a stereo tape and a color tv
Get a backseat bar and reclining seats
And just pay once a month, like you do your rent
Well, I figured it up and over a period of time
This four thousand dollar car of mine
Costs fourteen thousand dollars and ninety-nine cents
Well, now Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see
What your simple horseless carriage has become
Well, it seems your contribution to man
To say the least, got a little out of hand
Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done?

Now the average American father and mother
Own one whole car and half another
And I bet that half a car is a trick to buy, don't you?
But the thing that amazes me I guess
Is the way we measure a man's success
By the kind of an automobile he can afford to buy
Well now, red light, green light, traffic cop
Right turn, no turn, must turn, stop
Get out the credit card honey, we're out of gas
Well, now all the car's placed end to end
Would reach to the moon and back again
And there'd probably be some fool pull out to pass
Well now, how I yearn for the good old days
Without that carbon monoxide haze
A-hanging over the roar of the interstate
Well, if the Lord that made the moon and stars
Would have meant for me and you to have cars
He'd have seen that we was all born with a parking space
Lord Mr. Ford, I just wish that you could see
What your simple horseless carriage has become
Well, it seems your contribution to man
To say the least, got a little out of hand
Well, Lord Mr. Ford, what have you done?
Come away with me, Lucille,
In my smoking, choking automobile!

 

"Stockholm Syndrome" by Blink-182

I'm so lost
I'm barely here
I wish I could explain myself but words escape me

It's too late
to save me

You're too late
You're too late

You're cold with disappointment
While I'm drowning in the next room
The last contagious
Victim of this
Plague between us

I'm seek with apprehension
I'm crippled from exhaustion
And I dread the moment
When you finally
Come to kill me

"The End" by the Doors

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us

The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...**** you

C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end


"Cat Like Theif" by Box Car Racer

I fell down a gutter
But I cant complain
Another false step
Could drive me insane
All I got myself here to blame
So I shake off the seat and I start again
Oh no I said
I want to go back
But I cant win the ****
And I'm gonna stay on track yeah
Make a deal like that
I keep my head up
But I never react

I wrote it down a list a month ago
Sixteen chapters of one thing you've blown
The best thing yet to help you
Through and through that she was
I feel her more than you

Don't leave
Don't leave her

I get up
Just to get knocked back down
I sit up
Just to get knocked all around
I wanna say something
But your out of town
I don't wanna have another
Short down say stand up (hey, yo)
Lets make it clear follow you home (no)
You were not there you saw him comin (jump)
You disappear home alone every night
Seems so clear you think you see me here
All along got my crew comin now
One by one
Two by two
Three by three
Four by four
Lets do some more

Call me back when word is that she's gone
Cat like thief she stole air from my lungs
Leave me standing on this lonely grave
I dug it out in case she turns away

Don't leave
Don't leave her
Don't leave
Don't leave her you think seen it,
All along got my crew comin
One by one
Two by two
Three by three
Four by four
Lets do some more

Don't leave
Don't leave her
Don't leave
Don't leave her
Don't leave
Don't leave her
Don't leave

 

darkknight_152002 yeah I try to look at the Beatles songs as just songs and nothing more. I don't like going deep into a song to find out what it really means. I just let it be, and enjoy it.

I like to see how one of the songs relates to myself, then create my own interpretation. I enjoy each moment.

Let it Be is a Beatles lyric, too.

 

sweet baby don't cry...
your tears are only alibis...

to prove you still feel--
you only feel *sorry* for yourself.

so get on that cross
...that's all you're good for.

Thirty-Three .....by The Smashing Pumpkins


Speak to me in a language I can hear
Humor me before I have to go
Deep in thought I forgive everyone
As the cluttered streets greet me once again
I know I can't be late, supper's waiting on the table
Tomorrow's just an excuse away
So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own

The earth laughs beneath my heavy feet
At the blasphemy in my old jangly walk
Steeple guide me to my heart and home
The sun is out and up and down again

I know I'll make it, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
And for a moment I lose myself
Wrapped up in the pleasures of the world

I've journeyed here and there and back again
But in the same old haunts I still find my friends
Mysteries not ready to reveal
Sympathies I'm ready to return

I'll make the effort, love can last forever
Graceful swans of never topple to the earth
Tomorrow's just an excuse
Tomorrow's just an excuse
And you can make it last, forever you
You can make it last, forever you
Forever you...

 

When I find myself in times of trouble,
mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness,
she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people,
living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
here is still a light that shines on me,
shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music,
mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Accidentally in Love from Shrek 2

o she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love (x7)

Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally (X 2)

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I'm in love

 

"And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make."

Best. Lyric. Ever. (by the best band ever)

There's this too:

All that you touch
and all that you see
all that you taste
all you feel.

And all that you love
and all that you hate
all you distrust
all you save.

And all that you give
and all that you deal
and all that you buy
beg, borrow, or steal.

And all you create
and all you destroy
and all that you do
and all that you say.

And all that you eat
and everyone you meet
and all that you slight
and everyone you fight.

And all that is now
and all that is gone
and all that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

- Pink Floyd, Eclipse

 

And I'd give up forever to touch you,
Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment.
And all I can breathe is your life.
When sooner or later its over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's meant to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming.
The moment of truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive.

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's meant to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's meant to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's meant to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.

I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.

- "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls

 

That Pink Floyyd song reminded me of the end of Walk On...


Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme?


Dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi

 

Third Rate Romance
by the Amazin' Rhythym Aces

Sittin' in a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant
She was starin' at her coffee cup
He was tryin' to keep his courage up
By applyin' booze

And talk was small when they talked at all
They both knew what they wanted
There was no need to talk about it
They were old enough to scope it out
And keep it loose

She said, "You don't look like my type
But I guess you'll do--"
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
And he said, "I'll even tell you that I love you
If you want me to--"
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous

When they left the bar
They got in his car
And they drove away
He drove to the family inn
She didn't even have to pretend
She didn't know what for

And he went to the desk
And made his request
While she waited outside
Then he came back with the key
She said, "Give it to me
And I'll unlock the door."

She kept saying
"I've never really done this kind of thing before, have you?"
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
And he said, "Yes I have--
But only a time or two"
Third rate romance
Low rent redezvous
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous

 

One simple lyric from one song

All my problems form a puzzle
All my pieces have been lost
