Love Story lyrics

You know it`s alright
Just to take me home
To your serious house, with your serious tones
You`re a serious man, with a serious smile
But the summer is hot and I might surprise you

In a very short while we`ll have left them behind
With their faces quite pained
As they try to remind themselves
Oh, it`s really so wrong
It`s really so out
And it`s really not cool to take a young girl about

And I know the young man with a century`s face
A philosopher king - he will try to amaze
With examples of love and examples of hate
And to see them explode
We will just have to

It`s a simple love story
It grows better all the time
You can tell me all about it
But first I`ll tell you about mine

You know it`s alright to be trustful, have tact
But the problem`s complex
When you keep holding back
We could talk for an hour
We could talk for a day
But the people we know would still have their say

Talk of such virtuous women
Talk of such noble men
But if I`m on the level I have met none of them
Oh, I`ve met troubled people with deep and dark thoughts
Who have hallowed my name
And sworn I will get caught
But why waste real feeling and
Why waste our time
To let the earth bow to no virtue of

It`s a simple love story
It grows better all the time
You can tell me all about it
But first I`ll tell you about mine

You know it`s alright to just make mistakes
But to tail in with hurt - is the gravest make
We all create lives which we don`t understand
But to point the accused is a job for no man
And we curse our own longing - and curse our own ways
I won`t be satisfied with my soul that`s

It`s a simple love story
It grows better all the time
You can tell me all about it
Now I`ve told you about mine
