We Belong Together (Live Acoustic Version)

Well, I say this was no game of chicken
You were aiming your best friend
That you wear like a switchblade on a chain around your neck
Like the one you got in Mexico from your dad
And it's daddy on the booze
And it's Brando on the ice
And it's Dean in the doorway
With one more way he can't play this scene twice

And you drug her down every drag of this forbidden fit of love
And you told her to stand tall when you kissed her
But that's not where you were thinking
How could a Natalie Wood not get sucked into a scene so custom tucked?
Look who shows up in the same place in this case
I think it's better to face it

We belong together
We belong together

Once Johnny the King made a spit ring
And all the skid kids saw a proud man
And he entwines her in his finger
And they lay there like babies

Climb upon the rooftop docks lookin' out on the crosstown seas
And he wraps his jacket across her shoulders
And he falls in front of her and hugs and holds her on his knees
But the sailor takes a broad down to the dark end of the fair
And turns her into a tattoo
And whispers into the back of Johnny's black hair

And now Johnny the King walks these streets without her in the rain
Lookin' for a leather jacket
And a girl who wrote her name forever

'Cause we belong together
'Cause we belong together

Shall we weigh along these streets
Young lions on the lam?
And the signs you have in your heart
To turn along on neon for them?
Are there foolish?
Are there victim of sailors and ducky boys
Move into your eyes and lips and your heart to see this

I said, "Oh bird, we have to tell them"
And they turn and ignore us
The only heroes we have are written now before us
And only angel who sees us now
Watches through each other's eyes

Well, I hear him in every footstep's passing sigh
He goes crazy these nights
Watching heartbeats go by
Whisper

We belong together, all the day
'Cause we belong
Remember we belong together
