Tanita Tikaram Love Story
You know it's alright Just to take me home To your serious house, with your serious tones You're a serious man, with a serious smile But the summer is hot and I might surprise you In a very short while we'll have left them behind With their faces quite pained As they try to remind themselves Oh, it's really so wrong It's really so out And it's really not cool to take a young girl about And I know the young man with a century's face A philosopher king - he will try to amaze With examples of love and examples of hate And to see them explode We will just have to It's a simple love story It grows better all the time You can tell me all about it But first I'll tell you about mine You know it's alright to be trustful, have tact But the problem's complex When you keep holding back We could talk for an hour We could talk for a day But the people we know would still have their say Talk of such virtuous women Talk of such noble men But if I'm on the level I have met none of them Oh, I've met troubled people with deep and dark thoughts Who have hallowed my name And sworn I will get caught But why waste real feeling and Why waste our time To let the earth bow to no virtue of It's a simple love story It grows better all the time You can tell me all about it But first I'll tell you about mine You know it's alright to just make mistakes But to tail in with hurt - is the gravest make We all create lives which we don't understand But to point the accused is a job for no man And we curse our own longing - and curse our own ways I won't be satisfied with my soul that's It's a simple love story It grows better all the time You can tell me all about it Now I've told you about mine
