Sweet lady on the telephone She likes fast cars made in Rome Two week vacation in the hot, hot sun She?s drop dead gorgeous, man, she loves to have fun

It's days like these that make me think of you constantly It's like I sit around waiting for you response It's like the phone and I have telepathy Could you please just maybe give me a sign?
You looked across the room at me She walked up and said nothing You said it with a smile, you said it with a smile
Denim jeans and white leather loafers Sky blue eyes but nobody noticed Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby it just pours out your eyes
You don't know it, you don't show it You don't know what you do, what you do You don't know it and you don't show it You don't know what you do, what you do
You like to hang around classy restaurants You like to call me at home on my cell phone You pull my heart strings 'cos you know I won't go You make a scene as you turn to wave goodbye
Felt like raindrops crying from the sky Oh, you act so cool, you're nobody's fool
She loves soapies and oriental cats Plastic fantastic and China's on the go Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, it just pours out your eyes
Oh lady, what cha doing? You just give it all away,oh, You just give it all away Oh, you just give it all away, I can see it in your eyes You just give it all away,oh, You just give it all away Oh, you just give it all away, I can see it in your eyes
Oh, do you remember When we were young? We just had fun
Pedal to the metal, shine into the steel Sitting up front, Elivisi by the wheel Putting out of Island Bay, weather looking fine Flick the switch, needle twitch, FM to the dial
Buddy Toledo singing to the songs Watching all the P?s and Q?s, nothing can go wrong Dino Valentino and his lady, flashes cash as the deals go by So good to be alive, right on, right on
Oh, do you remember When we were young? We just had fun
Pieces to the puzzle, music is the word Franko?s on the show, flying out the bird Somersaults and figure eights, breaking all the rules Pushing all the pushers, The King of the New School
Buddy Toledo fronting on the stage Pacifies the masses with a smile and a wave Dino Valentino and his lady counts the cash as deal goes by So good to be alive, right on, right on
Oh, do you remember When we were young? We just had fun
Oh, do you remember When we were young? We just had fun
Oh, do you remember When we were young? We just had fun
Oh, do you remember When we were young? We just had fun
Oh, do you remember When we were young? We just had fun

Higher flier, angel's wings we drive My destination, Happy Ville Money spent on refreshments to cool my temperature A fine wine or two, sweet food for my mind song
The coolest music to swing to Jamming out tunes that remind me of you My pockets lined with gold, I sold the old to reflect The new tune on my stereo, blow, flow
Tasting sweet dreams caresses me, tried a new style Wow, lost the vibe while I was in denial Took a bad trip, slip, flip, shook my ego I shouldn?t let it get me down son
I need to just live a little, play some fun games With sisters with no names, stories told in street lingo Understandable by some friends, I have none Brothers and sisters under the same old sun
Naked to the devil's deviants, we show a blind eye We need no one to spoil our adventures of books Marked at chapter one Underlined 'Ravings of Polynesia'
Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo Lingo with the Gringo
Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo Lingo with the Gringo, I?m in Lingo with the Gringo Lingo with the Gringo

The lady you were going to America with just left on an early plane She took the keys to the apartment and left you standing out in the rain Well, all the bros try to tell you but she said I don?t wanna know She basically taken everything and left you nothing to your name Nothing to your name
You borrowed money from the brothers now, time to collect the claim You can?t even pay for the coffee but still you point the blame It?s like you?re waiting for a miracle man, it?s just one of those days
Well, I suppose you were never told, so the story unfolds I think you?ve gone too far this time but who am I to say? Well, all your debts are numbered now, shall we call it a day? Call it a day?
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart Oh man, you?re breaking my heart Oh man, you?re breaking my heart Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Your mother hides behind the curtains when you pull into her drive She wipes her tears because the only time she sees you Is when you?ve taken a dive
You keep saying that?s the system man but you and I know I think it?s time to count your blessings friend You?re the only one to blame, only one to blame
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart Oh man, you?re breaking my heart Oh man, you?re breaking my heart Oh man, you?re breaking my heart
Three years later and you change your ways You?ve got a stupid grin on your face You?ve learned your lesson at long last What a shame you had to learn that way
I?d like to leave you with just two things You can take them anyway you like But when you?re in they all come around And when you?re out they don?t wanna know
But when you?re in they all come around And when you?re out they don?t wanna know
Oh man, you?re breaking my heart Oh man, you?re breaking my heart Oh man, you?re breaking my heart ...

First time I saw you, you were crowned in silver You?re hair full of fire, I guess you would have been a goddess Incognito, hiding all my lies, and this year, I was more than content
Ten times my eyes glanced upon your temple But I never imagine my deep fantasies In case you really had another lover, another brother
I know your name is desire The words you speak chocolate coated whispers You have a style so unique and pure A vision from up above, I think I?m infatuated by your spirit
As you passed by my eyes I?m like a little child mesmerized by your magic
Well, ten times my eyes glanced upon your temple Well, ten times my eyes glanced upon your temple Time flies when you?re havin? fun Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun Well, time flies when you?re havin? fun, well, time flies
