Slipped through the window by the back door Caught short in transit with my love Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance, How could I fall without a shove Tip-toed like thunder on my feelings You rock me gently with your sighs My knees are weak - my head is reeling Consumed by the fire in your eyes Stepped in and shattered my defences, Just playing hookey with my heart Slipped through the window by the back door And took the keys to my poor heart, yes my poor heart
Try as I might - try as I may Yes I'll try anything to make you stay Cause I need your love - yes I need your love -- I'm looking high - I'm looking low, Can't find where did my baby go Gotta find out why she ran away I don't know where did my baby stay Try as I might - try as I may Yes I'll try anything to make you stay
Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour Shoot through the neon in the night Hot foot through alleys - check the doorways Try that old parking lot on Ninth There's three-course kissing in the same place But that don't help me out no more I've been away so long and dreaming Little girl ain't I seen you before
