Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I hear you laughing in some other room And it makes me feel locked out You say my passion often stifles you And you need to move about But I was taught that boys need girls and girls need boys You say that's not true You'd rather fool around than be alone with me Well, that's alright for you 'cause you got love, love, love on your side 'cause you got love, love, love on your side 'cause you got love, love, love on your side 'cause you got love, love, love on your side I've bought you sentimental roses But you gave them all away I've played you all my favorite records Then we spent the night in talking, talking all the time... You sent me home I was so surprised to find that after all It doesn't hurt to be alone (REPEAT CHORUS) Well all the things you say make perfect sense to me Somehow I'm still unsure Then I catch myself going through the same old rhapsody RAP BOY RAP! And I don't understand just what I'm doing to myself I guess that's nothing new 'cause when you meet someone who doesn't follow all the rules It changes everything you do (REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
