When I first met you I exploded backwards leapt off my face 'cause to me you were a Greek God beautiful eyes big hands and feet
But I didn't show you, tell you
I let you come with your love poetry
I took it all with insatiable need, craving destiny
I can't stand it cause love's the only only only thing I wanted to live what I'm trying to say to you is that it isn't your fault or mine
love's dilemma isn't clever just remember that love goes on and on and on.
I'm going to show everyone
I'm going to tell everyone
that love goes on and on and on
I'll tell the priest and the police
I'll tell the judge and the gods
I'll tell my friends and my family
And when I told the world, guess what the world it changed overnight the people knew they had the might and didn't give in to fright and even though the pain was bad (it cut like a knife) It was the right sight
