I was 23 and living in the city
I met a long-legged blonde on friday night
It was a head on collision of passion
We made wild-eyed, loose-lipped love all night
On saturday we went out dancing
I could see she wanted to be free
She said, darling, Im sorry to leave you this way…
I said, how can you walk out on me?
She said, hey, hey, my, my, whats the story?
How can you say I broke your heart?
Someone as old as you should never look for the truth
In promises made in the dark.
Well, I went back to her apartment
I waited all night in my car
When she got there I said, hey you cant take him to bed!
She said, who in the hell do you think you are?
When her boyfriend pulled out a revolver
I smiled and I said my farewells
Love can take you to the sun, love can take you to the moon
Its not worth getting you killed
