On a morning flight out of Birmingham he started talking
She'd never even met him, but Lord, she thought that
He'd never shut up
If she didn't look up and pay attention
So she took off her headphone
Closed her book and started listening

He said "I just broke up with my girlfriend yesterday
In a 'Dear John; note she said 'I'm moving to L.A.
I'm calling it off, I'm taking the dog and don't try to follow
She thinks she's a big star now
She made the Hollywood round of American Idol"

Thirty minutes later she felt sorry for him a little
She moved from her seat on the aisle to the middle

Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on, let him by
Give him room but don't ask why
'Cause love don't need no ticket to ride

She said. "I just can't believe someone would leave a man like you
You seem like a good one, in these days there are so few
Lord knows I've tried to find a decent guy but it's hard to do
The way I hate to shop and how I love football, you'd think I'd have two
A second glass of wine just over the Rockies
They didn't see the signs but it was plain as plain can be

Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on, let him by
Give him room but don't ask why
'Cause love don't need no ticket to ride

Arrive in LAX, waiting on their bus
He says "What happens next?" and she said "Do you have to ask?"

Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on, let him by
Give him room but don't ask why

Buckle up, here comes love
Looks like cupid just showed up
Let him on, let him by
Give him room but don't ask why
'Cause love don't need no 
Love don't need no ticket to ride
