Burning Down One Side

Slipped through the window by the back door Caught short in transit with my love Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance How could I fall without a shove? Tiptoe like thunder on my feelings You rock me gently with your sighs My knees are weak, my head is reeling Consumed by fire in your eyes... Don'tcha know why? Goodness no! Why? Stepped in and shattered my defenses Just playing hookey with my heart Slipped through the window by the back door And took the keys to my poor heart Yes my poor heart Try as I might, try as I may Yes I'll I try anything to just make you stay 'Cuz I need your love, yes I need your love Ooh I need your love, yes I need your love I'm looking high I'm looking low Tryin' to find where did my baby go Gotta find out why she ran away I don't know, where did my baby stay? Try as I might, try as I may Oh I'll try anything to just make you stay Just find that 'Boulevard d'Amour' Shoot through a neon in the night Hotfoot through alleys, check the doorways Try that old parking lot on 9th There's three-course kissing in the same way Oh but that don't help me none no more I've been away so long and dreaming Little girl ain't I seen you before? Ooh little girl...
