She said:
I gotta keep my head up outta the clouds
They say I'll die but they won't show me how
My skin is thick and my knees are weak
I'll run away for a kiss on the cheek, ow!
Ooh ah
I hate your smile but I like your teeth
Your heart is bright, oh will you run with me?
My lipstick stains on the telephone booth
My mama said to forget about you, ow!
We packed our bags to get away
He said, "Babe, this gonna be easy
We'll be fine, we'll be okay
I've got a van where we can stay
But I don't need your maybes
I need someone to dance with me, baby"
Cut my hair and changed my face
I'm learnin' how to forget that place
Burned my name to find a new
And now they call me Lacy Loo, ow!
Ooh ah
We built our fort from sticks and stones
And now your words can't break our bones
The trees are high and the rivers deep
You've given me your heart to keep, ow!
We packed our bags to get away
He said, "Babe, this gonna be easy
We'll be fine, we'll be okay
I've got a van where we can stay
But I don't need your maybes
I need someone to dance with me, baby"
Kept my head in the clouds and my skin still tough
But my knees aren't weak in the city of love
