Lyrics

Okay
One, two, three, four
Don't you ever think about it, baby?
Don't you ever think it's tough?
Are you never gonna give up
On that big romantic stuff?
Don't you ever think about it, baby?
Don't you ever think it's tough?
Are you never gonna give up
On that big romantic stuff?
They're playing some playin' on the radio at noon
The singer's name was Jean Michel and he's singing 'bout La Luna
And she shivers as she comes awake
And remembers how to think
And she shakes the hair out of her eyes
But the daylight makes her blink
And the song, it whispers in her mind
Like a half-forgotten sigh
Of times of love, the longest days
And youth and endless skies
And oooh la la la
Don't you ever think about it, baby?
Don't you ever think it's tough?
Are you never gonna give up
On that big romantic stuff?
Did they never tell you 'bout it, baby?
Did they never say it's tough?
Are you never gonna give up
On that big romantic stuff?
To ease the pain a bit, to fill the empty void
She stores up ancient souvenirs like ravens with their hoards
It's not the getting old she minds
It's the meaningless of being
She thinks about all this while Jean sings about la vie
And accordions and violins take her back in time
When the only explanation was to kiss and love
And oooh la la la
Don't you ever think about it, baby?
Don't you ever think it's tough?
Are you never gonna give up
On that big romantic stuff?
Did they never tell you 'bout it, baby?
Did they never say it's rough?
Are you never gonna give up
On that big romantic stuff?
Don't you ever think about it, baby?
Don't you ever think it's tough?
Are you never gonna give up
On that big romantic stuff?
No, she'll never give, she'll never give
She'll never give it up
She's gonna hold on, hold on, hold on
To that big romantic stuff
She'll never get, she'll never get
She'll never get enough
She's gonna hold on, hold on, hold on
To that big romantic stuff
She'll never give, she'll never give
She'll never give it up
She's gonna hold on, hold on, hold on
To that big romantic stuff
She'll never get, she'll never get
She'll never get enough
She's gonna hold on, hold on, hold on
To that big romantic stuff
She'll never give, she'll never give
She'll never give it up
She's gonna hold on, hold on, hold on
To that big romantic stuff
