21st Century Romance Novel

Twenty-five hours ago, either you were to fast or I was too slow
Now everything's coming undone, like spots falling off of the sun
You work the late nights in those big hotels
I drive a Lincoln for those uptown swells
Now something is happening I think I understand
You've got way too much drama for you to have just one man

I don't know where you've been don't want my jealousy to show
But who's that keeps calling on the telephone
You think everything is alright if you throw the dog a bone
What kind of love is this, this love that we have grown?

Its a twenty first century romance novel but romance is too kind a word
We were all built with a ton of desire which we need to fill haven't you heard
Haven't you heard

Thirty-five years ago, If I'd have seen it coming I wouldn't have grown
We're both stronger than we used to be, now we're fighting out in the streets
You go back to your place and I'll be right behind
My memories about last night ain't even worth a dime
The cards are on the table but the tables made of sand
Anything I had worth saving is slipping from my hand

There's two kinds of drivers in this borough scene
And both of them will take me exactly where I need
Racing up and down the avenue half out of my mind
Don't know what I am looking for don't care what I might find

Its a twenty first century romance novel but romance is too kind a word
We were all built with a ton of desire which we need to fill haven't you heard
Haven't you heard .

Would you consent to pick up the phone
I'm here alone with my remedies
The hour is late and if this is our fate
Then surely you were meant to be the death of me
Oh yeah
But where did you go?
People just walk in the room and they leave out the door
Every minute! that your in it!
You better paint a picture baby because it all fades away
There'll be nothing left behind there'll be nothing, nothing left to say

Its a twenty first century romance novel
