To a girl on the West Side

You kiss the beast, took her hand and

Made her your bride.

It all went wrong

In a spiral nightmare

There's nothing left

Except to stand in the mirror and stare.

All you had

It all got wasted

The better food

It all got tasted

No longer French, just the language of love is lost.

You got caught and now you pay the cost.

Sitting by the phone

It never seems to ring anymore

Looking at your past

Spread out before you on the floor

You count the days like minutes

On your carpet pool

You dial a number

It means you all wasted smoke.

All you had

It all got wasted

The better food

It all got tasted

No longer French just the language of love is lost

You got caught and now you pay the cost.

It's a shame youy life got in the way

Drips of conversation, fillers just for a day

That's okay, Yeah

All you had

It all got wasted

The better food

It all got tasted

No longer French just the language of love is lost

You got caught and now you pay the cost.

It's not much to ask

In these fast and furious times

But being in love always seems

To be some kind of unwritten crime

Unwritten crime, yeah

All you had

It all got wasted

The better food

It all got tasted

No longer French just the language of love is lost

You got caught and now you pay the cost.
