lyrics

I asked you shyly "wanna get out of here?"
You said" I dont mind", so I forgot my fear.
By the north Platte tracks we stopped to park.
You said "every train is a piece of art."
So we sat and admired the painted boxcars til morning came.

I said "I dont care what you think about me."
You said "Im not tired I dont wanna go to sleep yet!"

Ba-ba-ba-baby please let me walk you home.
You just softly smiled said I dont like to be alone.
Oh my my oh-la-la youre just toying with me.
So keep your forked tongue behind your perfect teeth.
But when we passed by the stadium she would sing "sha la la with me."

I forgot what hands were for.
If love is the message can I be your messenger?

In the sunshine, on a clear day.
You can find me by the freeway.
And if you find love I wont make you stay.
You can count me as a mistake.
And I will leave you alone.
