It ain’t supposed to be sad though you might feel it that way. It’s a topic about desperation; every now and then we do get desperate.
This is a topic about L.O.V.E., and if you abuse it you’re gonna lose it, and if you lose it you’re gonna abuse it, and if you abuse it, you ain’t gonna be able to choose it, ‘cause you ain’t gonna have it further on down the line, things ain’t gonna be so fine - you’re gonna be sitting there on your little machine, trying to look and keep it clean; you’re gonna be playing bingo all alone, that’s why you’re sitting there by the telephone, and YOU KNOW THAT SHE AIN’T GOING TO CALL YOU!!
So you put on the tv and you’re watching Johnny Carson segway and right into The Tomorrow Show, but that don’t got to go, so you turn it off and you turn on the radio, the radio don’t seem to get the click, so you say “hey, man, I can’t lickety split.” You start to open up a little book and then something’s there you got to overlook, and you say: “BABY, YOU KNOW THERE’S SOMETHING ON MY MIND!!” You say: “BABY, THERE’S SOMETHING ON MY MIND!! I KNOW THAT YOU’RE HOME!! AND I KNOW YOU AIN’T ALL ALONE!!”
So you start walking over to her house, you get over to her house, and you walk over to her door, you start pounding on the door. You say: “OPEN UP THE DOOR, BITCH, WOO BOO A GOO BOO WITH GREEN TEETH, A LET ME IN!!”
Well she opens up the door and then you just kind of walk up to her and say “baby...”. You look up way up at her green mascara and say “oh my darling, you know her and me was at the party as friends. Do not believe what they say, that’s only gossip that they’re telling you down the wise-cracking line.” You say: “DARLING!! Take your big curls and just squeeze ‘em down, Ratumba.”
Love comes once and when it comes you better grab it fast because sometimes the love you grab ain’t gonna last, and I believe I MUST OF!! YOU KNOW I THINK I MUST OF!! YOU KNOW BABY I THINK I MUST OF!! YOU KNOW I THINK I MUST OF!! I MUST OF GOT LOST!!
