Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Slipped through the window by the back door Caught short in transit with my love Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance How could I fall without a shove? Tiptoe like thunder on my feelings You rock me gently with your sighs My knees are week, my head is reeling Consumed by fire in your eyes (Dont'cha know why, goodness no! Why?) Stepped in and shattered my defenses Just playin' hookey with my heart Slipped through the window by the back door And took the keys to my poor heart Yes my poor heart Try as I might, try as I may Well I'd try anything to make you stay 'cause I need your love, yes I need your love Ooh I need your love, yes I need your love I'm lookin' high, I'm lookin' low Tryin' to find where did my baby go Gotta find out why she ran away I don't know where did my baby stay Try as I might, try as I may Well I'd try anything to make you stay Just find that Boulevard d'amour Shoot through a neon in the night Hot-foot through alleys, check the doorways Try that old parking lot on 9th There's 3-course-kissing in the same way Oh but that don't help me none no more I've been away too long and dreaming Little girl ain't I seen you before? Oh little girl
