Love Story

You know it's alrightJust to take me homeTo your serious house, with your serious tonesYou're a serious man, with a serious smileBut the summer is hot and I might surprise youIn a very short while we'll have left them behindWith their faces quite painedAs they try to remind themselvesOh, it's really so wrongIt's really so outAnd it's really not cool to take a young girl aboutAnd I know the young man with a century's faceA philosopher king - he will try to amazeWith examples of love and examples of hateAnd to see them explodeWe will just have toIt's a simple love storyIt grows better all the timeYou can tell me all about itBut first I'll tell you about mineYou know it's alright to be trustful, have tactBut the problem's complexWhen you keep holding backWe could talk for an hourWe could talk for a dayBut the people we know would still have their sayTalk of such virtuous womenTalk of such noble menBut if I'm on the level I have met none of themOh, I've met troubled people with deep and dark thoughtsWho have hallowed my nameAnd sworn I will get caughtBut why waste real feeling andWhy waste our timeTo let the earth bow to no virtue ofIt's a simple love storyIt grows better all the timeYou can tell me all about itBut first I'll tell you about mineYou know it's alright to just make mistakesBut to tail in with hurt - is the gravest makeWe all create lives which we don't understandBut to point the accused is a job for no manAnd we curse our own longing - and curse our own waysI won't be satisfied with my soul that'sIt's a simple love storyIt grows better all the timeYou can tell me all about itNow I've told you about mine
