The World According To Lionel

I Love (some call it love)

I meet her up town in one of those long night bars
I wasn`t really trying hard before she was on my arm
And I could see by her makeup that she was out for the pull
And I thought maybe I should finish my beer and head back to my room
But she followed out the door and I couldn`t say no
It`s a free country after all she told me
And where ever you go babe I´m gonna I´m gonna go

Some call it love

Yeah now it`s whiskey stables and hard luck tales about daughters
Who should of listened to their fathers before they went off with a stranger
I can feel him back there squeezing my heart in his fist
While she`s in here with me giving the devil a kiss
She`ll never understand but she pretends to anyway
How she stole my heart when I heard her say
Life is life and black is black
Babe why don`t you crawl over here I`m spread out on my back
Yeah we could have some fun and make some memories
And not think so much about how it feels, how it feels to be free

Some call it love, Some call it love, Some call it love

I love and I know
that tomorow my babe's peace dove ain't gonna show
Yeah I love and I know and can I feel that somehow through it all
She's the only thing that's real

So I listen to the moon as it sings it`s song for me
Saying there's nothing more gracefull than my baby`s misery
She comes on like a tomestone
With the sins of the world to confess
She says everything is wrong yeah her life's a mess
And I just laugh as I choke on my joint as she waves the air
Saying do you gotta smoke that stuff it really stinks around here
Well baby maybe it's just another one of those life little mysteries
Yeah sometimes you just gotta lay back and have a laugh with me
Sometimes you gotta have faith in the angels that guide us
In the winds that drive us and the seas that brave us
And sometimes you just gotta say to hell with it all
Show the bastards that you're not going down, going down for the fall

I love and I know
that tomorow my babe's peace dove ain't gonna show
Yeah I love and I know and can I feel that somehow through it all
She's the only thing that's real

She gets a little uneasy the way I talk to other women in the bar
Yeah and watch the way they walk
She says I`m always going too far
But she knows that I'm nothing worth worrying about
That I'm just another dead dog out for a last chance shout
And I'll probally stumble home alone singing drunk with the moon
Cursing that traitor of a sun for coming up too soon
And with whiskey on my breath I'll shout it's all down to me
Yeah the stars and angels and the anger in the sea
But it`s not like a birth and it`s not like a death
But it`s a lot like your mouth that I wanna just kiss like this
Baby why don`t you just lay down here
On the hood of my car
I`m sure the troubles will disapear before that far off star
I can see that tonight you`re feeling alittle uptight
Well baby come here let me tell you everything`s gonna be alright

Some call it love, Some call it love, Some call it love

I love and I know
that tomorow my babe's peace dove ain't gonna show
Yeah I love and I know and can I feel that somehow through it all
She's the only thing that's real

My babe's got something up on top of that hill
She sneakes up there at midnight to see it without my impossing will
And I say hey baby what you doing and she says nothing at all
And I say come on baby what you doing
And she says hey man I`m really doing nothing at all
