Burning Down One Side

Slipped through the window by the back doorCaught short in transit with my loveJumped up, fell back, cut off from romance,How could I fall without a shoveTip-toed like thunder on my feelingsYou rock me gently with your sighsMy knees are weak - my head is reelingConsumed by the fire in your eyesStepped in and shattered my defences,Just playing hookey with my heartSlipped through the window by the back doorAnd took the keys to my poor heart, yes my poor heartTry as I might - try as I mayYes I'll try anything to make you stayCause I need your love - yes I need your love --I'm looking high - I'm looking low,Can't find where did my baby goGotta find out why she ran awayI don't know where did my baby stayTry as I might - try as I mayYes I'll try anything to make you stayFire down the Boulevard d'AmourShoot through the neon in the nightHot foot through alleys - check the doorwaysTry that old parking lot on NinthThere's three-course kissing in the same placeBut that don't help me out no moreI've been away so long and dreamingLittle girl ain't I seen you before
