The Love (Eastern Shore Version)

The Love (Philly Version)

I used to believe
Truly believe
you were the answer
the answer to everything

I used to believe
mighta been naive (oh, so naive)
but I really did think
you'd be my everything

but the truth is we never got close
to that perfect world I was sure of (so sure of)
drifted apart over the years
til you weren't even worthy of my tears (so many tears)

now i look back and see a game
that wild love was actually tame
the paradise just never came (it never came)
the love that dare not speak its name
was somehow just the same, just the same

if there's such a thing as love at first sight
i fell in love with you that very first night (they said)
hey, there's someone you should meet
my God you swept me off my feet

wherever you went i had to follow
we touched a bit down at the hollow
groped and skinny dipped in the lake
we kissed a lot, but it didn't take

the the truth is we never got near
to that perfect world I was sure of (so sure of)
just drifted apart over the years
til you weren't even worthy of my tears (so many tears)

now i look back and see a game
that wild love was actually tame
the paradise that just never came (it never came)
the love that dare not speak its name (speak its name)
was somehow just the same, just the same
now i look back and see a game
that wild love was actually tame
the paradise that just never came (it never came)
the love that dare not speak its name (speak its name)
was somehow just the same, just the same
just the same, just the same, just the same

Heart change
Man-made heart change
Hearts are getting harder
every year

brain change
man-made brain change
brains are getting dumber
every year

soul change
man-made soul change
souls are getting smaller
every year

if this keeps up
in fifty years
there'll be nothing left but rage
if this keeps up
in fifty years
we'll keep God inside his cage

Heart change
Man-made heart change
Hearts are getting harder
every year

soul change
man-made soul change
souls are getting smaller
every year

if this keeps up
in fifty years
there'll be nothing left but rage
if this keeps up
in fifty years
we'll keep God inside his cage

Should a girl get married? Should a girl get married?
Why support a man when he is every bit as strong as she is?
Should a girl get married? A girl should not get married!
Married life, it's a fright, am I wrong?

You're right!

Should a girl get married? Should a girl get married?
Why go leaping without looking just to serve him lousy cooking?
Should a girl get married? A girl should not get married!
Married life, it's a threat, am I right?

You bet!

Should a girl give up her precious freedom?
Should she let her future go to pot?
Just because he dresses continental?
Should a girl relinquish all she's got?

She should not!

Should a girl get married? Should a girl get married?
Why should someone's life be twisted just because the guy insisted?
Should a girl get married? A girl should not get married!
Married life, nasty words, who's it for?

The birds!

Should a girl get married? Should a girl get married?
Who needs unfulfilled desires while he's out all night with buyers?
Should a girl get married? A girl should not get married!
Married life, it's a curse, am I right?

It's worse!

Should a girl give up her precious freedom?
Should she go on living in remorse?
When she trades her freedom in for marriage?
Does she not become a human horse?

Why of course!

Should a girl get married? Should a girl get married?
Should she ever think of linking? not unless her brain is shrinking!
Should a girl get married? A girl should not get married!

Married life, it's a fright, am I wrong?

You're right!

Married life, it's a curse, am I right?

It's worse!

Should a girl get married? If a girl gets married, she's a dog...

A girl should not get married, even once!

Should A Girl Get Married?

My, my
The clock in the sky
Is pounding away
It has so much to say

A face a voice
An overdub
Has no choice
And it cannot rejoice

Wanting to be
To hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Clicks
Clacks
To ride on the backs
Of giraffes for laughs
Is all right for a while

The eagle sings
Of castles and kings
And things that go
With a life of style

Wanting to feel
To know what is real
Living
is a lie
The porpoise is waving
Goodbye, goodbye...

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Sea Bright Home

Honey’s got my heartbeat racing faster than before
Got me breathing like a racehorse crawling on the floor
fallen angel’s what they call her or so you might believe
all i know is when she’s near me i can barely breathe

late at night she calls you on the phone
once you taste her you just can’t be alone

seeking some relief i’m gonna run that shower cold
don’t have time to stop for supper i’ll do that when I’m old
she sits atop my lap my hands go up and down her sides
now she shows me old man river so deep and dark and wide

late at night she calls you on the phone (the phone)
once you taste her you can’t leave her alone

late at night she calls you on the phone (the phone)
once you taste her you can’t leave her alone

she’s not exactly what you’d call a beauty or a doll
but in this age of half-baked things, this woman has it all
she’ll match a stallion blow for blow and still come out on top
you’ll pray, you'll pray to God, or pray to heaven, please don’t let it stop

late at night she calls you on the phone (on the phone)
once you taste her you cannot be alone (be alone)
late at night she calls you on the phone (on the phone)
once you taste her you can’t leave her alone (leave her alone)

just can’t, just can’t, just can’t be alone
can’t leave her alone
