Five For Fighting - Angels & Girlfriends lyrics

I met her down at a Pineapple Parking lot She said I love you more I said I love you not And all the while I stood in line at the paint shop She said I'll take you where you'll never go again I'll be your only love You'll be my only friend And for your time I'll let you dine at my office Angels never come for free If you know what I know you know what I mean You can love em now - you can love em later Girlfriends never fall for fun They can tie you up make you come undone You can learn to fly - But you can't create her She led me down though a forest of wooden chairs As she ate my lunch I looked out for bears And in a sense you could say she snared my attention She said I am your perfect finality And as I got her off she got off her knees And for my grind I got honorable mention Everybody needs one Everybody's bound Everybody swings upon the Marry-Go-Around Girlfriends never fall for fun They can tear you up make you come undone... [harmonica] So now I'm stuck in this pineapple parking lot I had what I was now I'm what I got And if I may... may I lend you some kind of direction If you go you may never come back again She's my only love She my only friend And for that there is no kind of protection Everybody needs one... Everybody's bound Everybody swings and meanwhile Mary Goes Around Angels never come for free If you know what I know you know what I mean 1st you hate to love and then you love to hate her Girlfriends never fall alone Now you know what I know you know what I've known I'll see you now...and I'll see you later I'll see you later I think I can save her I wish I could date her
