Somebody told me just the other day That you're leaving me, we're through Well if you knew how it hurt me so Then you'd change your mind, I'm sure Don't want to hear what's going on I don't care what's new Don't want to know about anything 'Cause all I want is you Going out with other girls Was always such a bore But since I fell in love with you I need you more and more Don't want to know about one night stands Cut price souvenirs All I want is the real thing And a night that lasts for years If you ever change your mind I've a certain cure An old refrain, it lingers on L'amour, toujours L'amour Don't want to learn about etiquette From glossy magazines Why should I try to talk correct Like they do in another scenes Say no more about imagery You're starting to confuse Just make an offer of more romance Of course I can't refuse All I want is you I'm all cracked up on you
