Lyrics

Psst, Penny, what happened? My mother's punishing me for going to jail without permission Well, I've come to rescue the fair maiden from her tower Oh, Seaweed! Tracy, you look beautiful behind bars It must be the low watt institutional lighting Oh Tracey, they can keep us from kissing But they can't stop us from singing Once I was a selfish fool who never understood Never look inside myself though on the outside, I looked good Then we met and you made me The man I am today Tracy, I'm in love with you No matter what you weigh 'Cause without love Life is like the seasons with no summer Without love Life is rock 'n' roll without a drummer Tracy, I'll be yours forever 'Cause I never wanna be Without love Tracy, never set me free No, I ain't lyin' Never set me free, Tracy No, no, no Once I was simple girl Then stardom came to me But I was still a nothing Though a thousand fans may disagree (Tracy) Fame was just a prison, signing autograph's a bore I didn't have a clue 'til you came banging on my door That without love Life is like my dad without his bromo Without love Life's like making out with Perry Como Darling, I'll be yours forever 'Cause I never wanna be Without love So darling, throw away the key I'm yours forever Throw away the key Yeah, yeah, yeah Living in the ghetto Black is everywhere you go Who'd have thought I'd love a girl With skin as white as winter's snow In my ivory tower Life was just a hostess snack But now I've tasted chocolate And I'm never going back 'Cause without love Life is like a beat that you can't follow Without love Life is Doris Day at the Apollo Darling, I'll be yours forever 'Cause I never wanna be Without love So darling, never set me free I'm yours forever Never set me free No, no, no If you're locked up in this prison, Trace I don't know what I'll do Link, I've got to break out So that I can get my hands on you And girl, if I can't touch you Now I'm gonna lose control Seaweed, you're my black white knight I've found my blue-eyed soul Sweet freedom is our goal Trace, I wanna kiss ya Then I can't wait for parole 'Cause without love Life is like a prom that won't invite us Without love It's getting my big break and laryngitis Without love Life's a 45 when you can't buy it Without love Life is like my mother on a diet Like a week that's only Mondays Only ice cream, never sundaes Like a circle with no centre Like a door marked, "Do not enter!" Darling, I'll be yours forever 'Cause I never wanna be Without love Yes, now you've captured me Without love I surrender happily Without love Oh, Seaweed Never set me free No, no, no No, I ain't lyin' Never set me free No, no, no No, I don't wanna live without Love, love, love Yeah, yeah, yeah Darling, you had best believe me Never leave me Without love
