Feel so sure of our love
I'll write a song about us breaking up.
"The Traffic Lights on the Street of Love"
Have just turned red...turned red, and
Man O'Sand to Girl O'Sea
Says it's love you'll get from me
Man O'Sand to Girl O'Sea
Says it's love you'll get from me
I want you back-
Say it isn't so.
Tears for certain there's no relief
I feel no better with wet cheeks.
And man I stand up to you
I feel it now...I do, and
chorus
So we break up, you leave my life
Leave, leave me alone, and
Man O'Sand to Girl O'Sea says it's love
Man O'Sand to Girl O'Sea says it's love
chorus
I want you back, I want you back, I want you back
Because I
Feel no better, Feel no better, Feel no better
chorus
You're the one, the one I need, need in times
TIMES LIKE THESE.
