Lyrics

I know it's a little old-fashioned
Holding hands, now start your romancing
Show me all your flaws, show me your bear claws
Go rip your heart out tonight
You don't have to be cool to make me shiver
Look in my eyes, can I make this any clearer?
Just a late-night girl, calling through the phone
She never really loved you, so just leave her alone
Your mama says it's over when you come through the door
Saying "That's enough of you, now won't you shut your mouth?"
Eh-oh, I'll never let you go
Eh-oh, I'll never let you go
You say goodbye as if you're leaving on a plane
And you've seen the clouds and how the shapes are so strange
And not a boy in the backseat staying in the backseat
Trying to make sense of it all
Saying "We were such a good thing, we were such a good thing
How could you let this fall?"
Take all my money and meet me on the sidewalk
If you don't show then I'll know
Just a late-night girl, calling through the phone
She never really loved you, so just leave her alone
Your mama says it's over when you come through the door
Saying "That's enough of you, now won't you shut your mouth?"
Eh-oh, I'll never let you go
Eh-oh, I'll never let you go
Show me all your flaws, show me your bear claws
Go rip your heart out tonight
You were just a late-night girl, calling through the phone
She never really loved you, so just leave her alone
Your mama says it's over when you come through the door
Saying "That's enough of you, now won't you shut your mouth?"
"That's enough of you, kid, now you're going South, love"
Eh-oh, I'll never let you go
Eh-oh, I'll never let you go
(Show me all your flaws)
Eh-oh, I'll never let you go
(Show me all your flaws)
Eh-oh, I'll never let you go
