I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me That's the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing, Seems the more I gave the less I got. What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain. When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried
Everybody's talkin' at me Can't hear a word they're sayin' Only the echos of my mind People stop and stare I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes
I'm Going where the sun keeps shinin' Through the pourin' rain Goin' where the weather suits my clothes Bankin' off of a northeast wind And sailin' on a summer breeze Skippin' over the ocean like a stone
I'm Going where the sun keeps shinin' Through the pourin' rain Goin' where the weather suits my clothes Bankin' off of a northeast wind And sailin' on a summer breeze Skippin' over the ocean like a stone
Everybody's talkin' at me Can't hear a word they're sayin' Only the echos of my mind I won't let you leave my love behind No, I won't let you leave my love behind I won't let you leave my love behind No, I won't let you leave my love behind
You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe well make something But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car And I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We wont have to drive too far Just cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old mans got a problem He live with the bottle thats the way it is He says his bodys too old for working I say his bodys too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebodys got to take care of him So I quit school and thats what I did
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still aint got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better Youll find work and Ill get promoted Well move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs You got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids Id always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I aint going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way
Pa pa para papa para paaa One, two, a-one, two, three, four
I can smell the smoke from the lungs of the Saturday groovers Busy doing nothing when you're young Saturday groovers Nothing will move us Saturday groovers (Saturday groovers) Pa pa para papa para paaa Para ra rapaaa (Para ra rapaaa paaa) Para ra rapaaa
All the mad old girls Mad old boys Did we ever get it together
Emphysema, heart disease and gout Nothing will move us (Saturday groovers) Saturday groovers I heard you cleaned your act up You old trout Saturday groovers (Saturday groovers) Nothing will move us Saturday groovers
Come on down the battered cross Eno's got some "Mental floss" 'cause Every saturday's a groove Every saturday's a groove Every saturday's a groove
Did we ever get it together Did we ever get it together Did we ever
