Sweet summer Sally in the schoolyard
Trying to catch some sun
She had money and problems, and a distant kind of cool
Anyone could have told him his card was up for renewal
Tried to let him down easy...
Sad streetwise Steven in the mainstream
Suspicion in his eyes
And though he did apologize, yeah, for that night up on the lake
When he called their every kiss an irretrievable mistake
Ain't enough to be sorry, no
Never did I see a love to give me one suspicion of
A hope for you and me
Though your sweet embrace leaves me begging, pleading, more
If you can't help feeling like a cheap thrill
Well, I can understand
But you asked me that question for the millionth time today
And though I'd like to console you, it's just much too tough to say
Say I love you, baby
Everyone keeps trying to find a settle-down sometime
But I'm not ready for the call
And your honesty is just a touch too strong for me
So let's talk about news, talk about weather
Hell, talk about anything at all...
