Slipped through the window by the back door
Caught short in transit with my love
Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance
How could I fall without a shove
Tip-toed like thunder on my feelings
You rock gently with your sighs
My knees are weak; my head is reeling
Consumed by the fire in your eyes
Stepped in and shattered my defenses
Just playing hookey with my heart
Slipped through my window by the back door
And took the keys to my poor heart
Yes my poor heart
Try as I might
Try as I may
Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Cause I need your love
Yes I need you love
Yes I need your love
Oh I need you love
I'm looking high I'm looking low
Can't find where did my baby, gotta find out why she ran away
I don't know where did my baby stay
Try as I might
Try as I may
Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour
Shot through the neon in the night
Hot foot through alleys check the door ways
Try that old parking lot on Ninth
There's three course kissing in the same place
Oh, but that don't help me out no more
I've been away so long and dreaming
Little girl ain't I seen you before
