Jive Lyrics

Michael Franks Jive

After you hurt me,
After I hurt you,
And all of my bad dreams,
One by one, came true

You saId it was goodbye
But the eyes never lie
And I knew
That it was only Jive.

So you found a new lover to wear your crown,
And I found a cheap flat up in Chinatown,
I saw you with stoned stars,
In chic bars, downtown malls
But I knew that is was only jive.

You cut me loose, I hit the juice,
Somebody deep inside me died.
Who punched that tune,
Who hit the moon?
Who made the dimestore gypsy lie?

You ain't got no love, Jones,
Not for me, not much
Then how come the sparks fly
Everytime we touch
The meaning becomes clear
Everytime you are near
Baby, it's only Jive.

Baby, it's only Jive.
Baby, it's only Jive.
