Just an Old Fashioned Love Song

This is a different kind of love song

Eli’s comin, hide your heart girl

 

 

No one knows what it’s like, to be hated, like I do

Long cool woman in a black dress

I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of

Two can be as bad as one, but the loneliest number is the number one

Billy jean is not my girl, she’s just a girl

Save those lies, darling don’t explain

I don’t need to fight, to prove I’m right. I don’t need to be forgiven

I would do anything for love, but I won’t do that

You say goodbye…

 

Eli’s comin and the cards say,

A broken heart!

 

 

…And I say hello. Hello hello!

Many times I’ve been alone, and many times I’ve cried

Singing the same old song won’t change you.

I’m only a man looking for a dream

I can’t keep loving you, no matter how many times you change your tune.

You alone can make my song take flight

 

 

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends

He will break her soul again

 

 

I want you so bad baby, I want you so bad it’s driving me mad

Floating, falling, sweet intoxication

Sweet young thing

Do you love me? Will you love me forever, do you need me? Will you never leave me?

Thank you for all the joy and pain

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

I only want to make you happy

 

Right before your eyes,

We’ll pull laughter from the skies

And he laughs until he cries

The love again dies
