Lyrics:
Babe, when I was a child
Oh, I slept in the cradle
Now my living is wild
Wo, I sleep where I'm able
I need a room for the night
Some inspiration to write
One steady bed on the floor
Lord, my shoes are dirty and my feet are sore
Love is
Love, You're makin' all the Fools
(Run around, we're doin' silly thing)
Love, You're breakin' all the rules
Yeah yeah
Babe, I'll drown in your eyes
Oh, they're deep as an ocean
Like the sun rides the sky
Wo, You ride my emotions
Gettin' my guitar and a pen
Feel like a poet again
I wanna write you a song
Leave you something to remember when I'm gone
Love is
Love, You're makin' all the Fools
(Run around, we're doin' silly thing)
Love, You're breakin' all the rules
Yeah yeah
Love is a funny affair
You must beware of sadness
Love takes your heart anywhere
You get your share of madness to
You do
I need a room for the night
Some inspiration to write
I wanna sing you a song
Leave you something to remember when I'm gone
