Love Standing Up

i gotta million clothes i like to wear
and if you tell me where i'll meet you there
but if you tell me not to wear that shirt, i'll say no
i'm like a picture in a magazine
well, i'm the boy and i'm the girl of your dreams
but if you tell me not to cut my hair, i'll say no

let's get together, feel free
we're not as different as you want us to be
we're not like ebony and ivory
we're more like hot pink, with a touch of green
you cannot name us
can't explain us
cause we're famous for being shameless
so if you want to dance with me all night long
you don't have to claim bottom or top
we can make love standing up

and I don't worry about the government
they only care if you can pay the rent
and you can shoot your guns inside your private home.
my doctor told me not to stress out to much
cause there's a family out there waiting for us
and you can come back home as late as you like

you say you want me to be free (i win wars, drive big cars, date big stars)
but i can't stand you, can't understand you (explore mars, drink at bars, go to bars)
you say you want to marry me (get my rocks off after work)
but it's not legal (i get home off the phone, watch tv, go to sleep)
we have to fight the flight of the eagle (i wake up)

and the night is so lonely!
i can't win if you can't lose!

you know we're in love standing up (i'm in love)
