Rollin' down the street
with tobacco on my fingers
The smoke swirlin' round my head--
it makes me think of you.
It makes me think of you--
they way you wink at me
the way you laugh, you smile
the way you make me be.
And I thought I could tell you
tell you the way I feel
Didn't know it would tear apart
like a 1940's movie reel.
[CHORUS]
But I shoulda known from the start
What was I supposed to do?
You made me give away my heart
I didn't know it was taboo
I gave you all I had to give
You know all this is true
I didn't know it wasn't right
to fall in love with you.
I used to want to tell you
about the tingles in my head
I used to want to tell you
the way I think of you in bed
I used to want to tell it all
and, baby, I still do
But now I know how wrong I was
to fall in love with you
You tell me it's the best thing
to keep me in the dark
Makes me wonder if maybe Cupid's arrow
missed it's fateful mark
CHORUS
Cuz I love you
And I need you
And I want you
And I miss you
And, yes, I do get jealous
when you turn away your face
And, yes, it makes me angry
when you put me in my place
CHORUS
But I keep rollin' (keep rollin')
As the smoke gets in my eyes
Cuz I wanna hude the tears that come
when you don't answer my whys
I let you see the frailty
I showed myself as true
But now I know how wrong I was
to fall in love with you
