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-eyedloose-lipped love all night

On saturday we went out dancing

I could see she wanted to be free

She said"darlingI'm sorry to leave you this way..."

I said"how can you walk out on me? "



(chorus)

She said"heyheymymywhat's 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."



WellI went back to her apartment

I waited all night in my car

When she got there I said"hey you can't take him to bed!"

She said"who in the hell do you think you are? "



Chorus



When her boyfriend pulled out a revolver

I smiled and I said my farewells

Love can take you to the sunlove can take you to the moon

It's not worth getting you killed



Chorus
