How I Found Love and Lost It Part One

I only said it, to make you smile back You wouldn't say it back I like to shy away from the world To silence the thoughts don't have to think about the camera girl With soft locks Just stick my head in a book, my masking mistook I think I killed the atmosphere It's okay, it wasn't so great in here Some say my vocabulary is full blown And some say I'm a misanthrope Oh ho, you couldn't wait to say hi Is she looking at us? just smile and wave I don't know what she's saying Does she want us to come over? You do it, now say it Oh you disappoint me She's a party girl if I ever saw one And I only saw one in my brother’s black room Air always smelled like a Hippie reunion And I'm pretty sure they were all doing shrooms She's a Rhythmic, non-cynic, hygienic class act She likes to speak like a debaucherous Nazz I don't know what I want But I know what I need is her Stay right here I'll get the girl Can't sleep as I think of a song I can't remember the words but it went bom bom bom bom my wind, my world Ah, Those dreams with my girl Ever notice in the life of your dreams You're never self-loathing, or nervous or mean It's so fine Good times All sorts of lives With her hand in mine Time and time again, I'm on the far side of Earth They say it's different as you get old But I doubt I'll stop myself from looking too dumb Where is that so called spirit you speak of? "Oh stop, you silly boy. I told you I like you as a friend. Oh is this for me? Why thank you. We're still just friends. Oh my now you say you love me. We were just friends a week ago. You're too attached. It's okay, we all get that way sometimes. Here, let's go for a ride." "See all the boys think of me as a temptress Like I use guys and make them do my bidding. But you'll find I'm just trying to be nice. We can't all be lovey dovey. What's a girl to do?" Feeling sappy on my own I know someday I'd make you turn Well it's the classical pneumonic state you're in I can’t believe this wild wicked sin It's in your genes, it's in your blood It's 90 degrees Let's flood flood flood Time to do it tonight
