The Thrills
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
You show your age When you drown your rage, But I see past those laughter lines. So baby lets spread tonight, I got a tank full of gas to light, We could drive for miles and miles, You just say. Not for all the love in the world, Not for all the love in the world. But she didn't realize that that's a lot of love. Hi, dreams fade, And all the underdogs get laid. Left you heart in the hands Of a juggling clown. So you crave recognition, But the keys to the city went missing, People are in puzzles to be figured out, You just say. Not for all the love in the world, Not for all the love in the world. But she didn't realize that that's a lot of love. I guess that everybody, Went to a better party. Not for all the love in the world, Not for all the love in the world. But she didn't realize that that's a lot of love.
