lyrics

I stole you from New York
We ran to the hills to ease our minds
And live a life that we thought would suit us quite right
You’re wanderin’ lost in town and cursin’ your life
I’m sittin’ here with a scowl on my face
And we both have no idea why

A long time has passed with you and I gettin’ on fine
You tell me you love me and we’ll be best friends for all time
You’re drivin’ around, Philadelphia’s a town we both like
You’re flailin’ your hands and I’m screamin’ your name
And we both have no idea why

It’s too late for fightin’ on Saturday night
Darlin’ what are we thinkin’?
It goes to show that we both ought’a know
That lovers shouldn’t spend their time drinkin’

Wanderin’ around lost in town is a feelin’ I like
You’re sittin’ there with a scowl on your face
And we both have no idea why

It’s too late for fightin’ on Saturday night
Darlin’ what are we thinkin’?
It goes to show that we both ought’a know
That lovers shouldn’t spend their time thinkin’
