Sue works in a bank on the other side of town
And I don't have much money there
So I shouldn't hang around
I ask the odd question and I cash the odd cheque
And I got no right to be jealous
'Bout the bruises on her neck

But oh oh it's just my crazy heart
Oh oh it's just my crazy heart
Oh oh it's just my crazy heart
Just won't let me start

Alison doesn't know me
She's only seventeen
She just got outa high school
She's searchin' for a dream
I see her every day
Hangin' out on the beach
I'd like to be so close to her
But she's somethin' I can't reach

Ah can't you hear my heart
Poundin' out for you
Remember me when you got a moment or two
I could sure use a few

Yeah it's like a strange town
I gotta get from A to B
Right now I have to find my own way
But I wish it wasn't up to me

Jackie she's a tennis star
And travels the world alone
She sometimes calls me up whenever she gets home
She's meetin' lotsa people
Says she's havin' a ball
But I can't win no doubles
And I ain't scored love all
