Young Dumb And In Love

well it was me and burkam running circles round the joint
trying to jump on the circus trying to get across our point
ya we were young and dump and looking for a fight
burning both ends of the candle at both ends of the night
she was walking gracefully like she stepped out of a cocoon
down through manhattan boulevard and first avenue
with her black frame glasses and her daisy perfume i said
have we met before? she said no its only noon

uh oh... to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and in love

baby you got me ten feet off the ground
im talking too much and you don't make a sound
the prettiest face and those rockabye baby browns
all i've waited for's come true
to be young and dumb and in love
with you you you you

well we sat in the park grass so scared of the past
rolling round like blankets oh this wont last
dancing to five spot records with smoke in the air
you could smell it the morning your could smell it in her hair
found myself on my knees a little more each night
is this what i've waited for for all of my life
put your hand with a feather tattoo on your wrist
on this skinny little white boys fat hustling hips

uh oh to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and love

baby you got me ten feet off the ground
i'm talking too much and you don't make a sound
the prettiest face and those rockabye baby browns
all i've waited for's come true
to be young and dumb and in love
with you you you you

she's not like any other girl
she's got me crying first, dying first, waiting for the repo man

well under the weeping willows and a sea firing flies
with your gypsy necklace and my big brown bow tie
you kissed my lips like i was catching a flight
i said if i'm honest i fell for you that first night
if i'm honest i fell for you that first night
that first night oh oh oh

to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and in love
with you you you
