I used to write love songs But that was before I understood how much true lovers ignore They meet on the rebound They bump in the night Hum some sweet tune Then they're tied up for life CHORUS: I never gave it a thought I never thought I should think I would go along with anyone and anything Yes I would - living in sin And there's nobody else Makes me feel how I feel If I said I love you It would have to be real And I cannot lie to you
Love is too rare a thing And romance is fine When it's hard on your heels But like the fashions you've abandoned When it's run out of lines CHORUS I used to write love songs But that was before I understood how much true lovers ignore They dance through the music They don't watch the film What was the point of your picture Mr. De Mille CHORUS ------------------------------ Additional Lead Vocal: ROBERT PALMER Woodwind: OLLIE W.
