Lyrics
I wake up and it's half past four My baby, she turns her face to the wall I ain't gonna cry, but it ain't that funny no more I pulled on a blanket made of stars I wrap up my darling all nice and warm I ain't gonna lie, but I don't want the truth no more Everybody knows Ain't found this good since the Stone Age When my undying love was just a phase On her way to the club, I hear her say She'd dance the night away Everybody needs some fleeting love I follow my baby up the hotel stairs And I'm lying into the back of her legs I ain't gonna buy whatever it is they're selling no more I wake up later and it's half past five My baby she stretches, opens her eyes, she says "I ain't gonna lie, but I could get to like you, babe" Everybody knows Ain't found this good since the Stone Age When my undying love was just a phase On her way to the club, I hear her say She'd dance the night away Everybody needs some fleeting love Ain't found this good since the Stone Age When my undying love was just a phase When she opened her eyes, I heard her cry Saying, "Darling, don't you sigh 'Cause everybody needs some fleeting love"
