Just Like The Movies

I eat from the trees
If I do not open the curtains then I cannot see
All the people runnin' by
All the people runnin' by
All the people runnin' by
All the people runnin' by
My heart it beats, beats, beats,
My heart it beats, beats, beats,
My heart it beats, my heart beats..
My heart beats love, love, love, love, love
You are mistaken 'cause I do not bite
Over the Williamsburg Bridge on a bike
And if he loves me then why does he leave?
Don't say goodbye like you're burying him
'Cause the world is round and he might return
But if he loves me then why does he leave?
