lyrics

She asked if I believe in god above
I said, "Girl, you are living proof."
She said, "Young men, they get away with so much when they thing they're telling the truth."
So I thought, "I will give this up. Save what's left of my breath and pride."
Then she wrapped me in a love so tight.
Oh, she blew my mind
And the wind blew through my room. It was over all too soon
A moment so fine who's heart was locked up tight
But her soul, it was alright

"Love is sacred, oh, love is strange. Love works in mysterious ways."
She said, "I gave it up in my younger days. And I made up my mind. So down with love songs and down with hope. Down with poets and singers, I swear. When I get to the end of my rope, who will I find there?"

I heard a voice but saw no face. In the dark she turned away and whispered so quiet, "Of this you can believe: you were merely pain relief."

"Lovely one, won't you spend the night?"
She said, "I always sleep alone. I can't do just whatever I want. See, I've got a little girl at home. And I promised her the kind of man I would make my own would be beautiful like Buddy Holly and rich as a Rolling Stone."

"Oh, your heart, it does confound. Was I the warmest one around? I know fools ask why. I've used all of my best lines, so won't you let yourself be mine?"

"Strong as coffee and sweet as cream. Don't you know I like girls that way. And I got no use for the younger ones, 'cause they got nothing to say. And it's best if you don't ask questions of how I came into my own. But I'm beautiful like Buddy Holly and rich as a Rolling Stone."
