I was 23 and living in the city

I met a long-legged blonde on friday night

It was a head on collision of passion

We made wild-eyed, loose-lipped love all night

On saturday we went out dancing

I could see she wanted to be free

She said, "darling, i'm sorry to leave you this way..."

I said, "how can you walk out on me?"



(chorus)

She said, "hey, hey, my, my, what's the story?

How can you say i broke your heart?

Someone as old as you should never look for the truth

In promises made in the dark."



Well, i went back to her apartment

I waited all night in my car

When she got there i said, "hey you can't take him to bed!"

She said, "who in the hell do you think you are?"



Chorus



When her boyfriend pulled out a revolver

I smiled and i said my farewells

Love can take you to the sun, love can take you to the moon

It's not worth getting you killed



Chorus
