When circumstance divides us, I always close my eyes.
My thoughts retrace the image of your face:
Somehow our love survives.
Now we're in our prime and it's Once Upon a Time...
Paper lanterns in the trees.
The photograph is framed
But the feeling's still the same:
I'm there for you and you're always there for me.
After the hero stumbles,
After the lady cries,
After the fortress tumbles,
Somehow our love survives.
Each time we touch each other the chemistry revives;
Each kiss contains an energy exchange:
Somehow our love survives.
Now we're in our prime and it's Once Upon a Time...
Paper lanterns in the trees.
The photograph is framed
But the feeling's still the same:
I'm there for you and you're always there for me.
After the hero stumbles,
After the lady cries,
After the fortress tumbles,
Somehow our love survives.
After the hero stumbles,
After the lady cries,
After the fortress tumbles,
Somehow our love survives.I guess I should have known
By the way you parked your car sideways
That it wouldn't last
You're the kinda person
That believes in making out once
Love 'em and leave 'em fast
I guess I must be dumb
Cuz you had a pocket full of horses
Trojans and some of them used
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it alright
And you said what have I got to lose
(Chorus)
I say little red corvette, baby, you're much too fast
Little red corvette you need a love that gonna last
Guess I should have closed my eyes
When you drove me to the place
Where your horses run free
Cuz I felt a little ill when I saw all those pictures
Of the jockeys that were there before me
Believe it or not I started to worry
I wondered if I had enough class
But it was Saturday night
I guess that makes it alright
And you say baby have you got enough gas
(Chorus)
A body like yours ought to be in jail
Cuz it's just on the verge of being obscene
Hey, move over baby, come on, give me the keys
I'm gonna tame your little red love machine
(Chorus)
You must be a limousine
