i got a lot on my head
most of it is you
i got a lot on my head
can’t forget about you
lock me away
where the silly boys go
i’m on top of my nerves
don’t you know
take me apart
’cause i’m out of control
send me a letter
on a midnight scroll
dance by the window
in flamingo pink
go through the motions
in your romeo mink
condition’s red disposition’s blue
why am i so attracted to you
trip down the alleyway
take the back stairs
i know it’s good
but good isn’t fair
that’s what you said
flashbulb in your eye
how can i hold you
when you’re waving good bye
