Without Love

Psst, Penny, what happened?
My mother's punishing me for going to jail without permission
Well, I've come to rescue the fair maiden from her tower
Oh, Seaweed!
Tracy, you look beautiful behind bars
It must be the low watt institutional lighting
Oh Tracey, they can keep us from kissing
But they can't stop us from singing

Once I was a selfish fool who never understood
Never look inside myself though on the outside, I looked good
Then we met and you made me
The man I am today
Tracy, I'm in love with you
No matter what you weigh

'Cause without love
Life is like the seasons with no summer
Without love
Life is rock 'n' roll without a drummer
Tracy, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
Tracy, never set me free

No, I ain't lyin'
Never set me free, Tracy
No, no, no

Once I was simple girl
Then stardom came to me
But I was still a nothing
Though a thousand fans may disagree (Tracy)
Fame was just a prison, signing autograph's a bore
I didn't have a clue 'til you came banging on my door

That without love
Life is like my dad without his bromo
Without love
Life's like making out with Perry Como
Darling, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
So darling, throw away the key

I'm yours forever
Throw away the key
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Living in the ghetto
Black is everywhere you go
Who'd have thought I'd love a girl
With skin as white as winter's snow

In my ivory tower
Life was just a hostess snack
But now I've tasted chocolate
And I'm never going back

'Cause without love
Life is like a beat that you can't follow
Without love
Life is Doris Day at the Apollo
Darling, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
So darling, never set me free

I'm yours forever
Never set me free
No, no, no

If you're locked up in this prison, Trace
I don't know what I'll do
Link, I've got to break out
So that I can get my hands on you
And girl, if I can't touch you
Now I'm gonna lose control
Seaweed, you're my black white knight
I've found my blue-eyed soul
Sweet freedom is our goal

Trace, I wanna kiss ya
Then I can't wait for parole

'Cause without love
Life is like a prom that won't invite us
Without love
It's getting my big break and laryngitis
Without love
Life's a 45 when you can't buy it
Without love
Life is like my mother on a diet

Like a week that's only Mondays
Only ice cream, never sundaes
Like a circle with no centre
Like a door marked, "Do not enter!"

Darling, I'll be yours forever
'Cause I never wanna be
Without love
Yes, now you've captured me
Without love
I surrender happily
Without love
Oh, Seaweed
Never set me free

No, no, no
No, I ain't lyin'
Never set me free
No, no, no
No, I don't wanna live without
Love, love, love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Darling, you had best believe me
Never leave me
Without love
