Love will abide, take things in stride
Sounds like good advice but there's no one at my side
And time washes clean love's wounds unseen
That's what someone told me but I don't know what it means.

Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time

Caught in my fears
Blinking back the tears
I can't say you hurt me when you never let me near
And I never drew one response from you
All the while you fell all over girls you never knew
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me for a long long time

Wait for the day
You'll go away
Knowing that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay
And life's full of flaws
Who knows the cause?
Living in the memory of a love that never was
Cause I've done everything I know to try and change your mind
and I think I'm gonna miss you for a long long time
Cause I've done everything I know to try and make you mine
And I think I'm gonna love you for a long long time.In the moonlight 
Fighting with the night 
It's a rip-off 
Kissing all the slain 
I'm bleeding in the rain 
Such a rip-off 

Rocking in the nude 
I'm feeling such a dude 
It's a rip-off 
Dancing in the dark 
With the tramps in the Park 
It's a rip-off 
Such a rip-off 

See your baby's stud 
Sliding in my mud 
It's a rip-off 
Bleached on the beach 
I want to tickle your peach 
It's a rip-off 
Such a rip-off 

See the girl in dance 
In her man-skin pants 
Such a rip-off 
Terraplane Tommy 
Wants to bang your gong 
It's a rip-off 
Such a rip-off 

Gypsy girl's good 
People treat her like a fool 
It's a rip-off 
The President's weird 
He's got burgundy beard 
It's a rip-off 
Such a rip-off 

I'm the King of the highway 
I'm the Queen of the hop 
You should see me 
At the Governor's ball 
Doing the rip-off bop 

I'm a social person 
I'm the creature in disguise 
There's a man with a whip 
On his silver lip 
Living inside my eyes 

I'm the cat from the alley 
I'm the fleetfoot vood
