you're in your suburban home

hanging on the telephone

i'm in my room playing records





it takes me to another world

like holidays in the sun

or when i am looking for a kiss





when i sit in my room

i listen to it over and over





[Chorus]

play it again - i think i'm obsessed with you

play it again - i can't get enough of you

play it again - wearing out my sound system

play it again - that song that i can't get off my mind





i met you in my wild youth

that's when i fell for you

but you were 2000 light years away





well i guess i always knew

i'd have to say goodbye to you

why is it always this way?





when i'm driving in my car

i listen to it over and over





[Chorus]
