Love Story Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

You know it's alright, just to take me home 

To your serious house, with your serious tones 

You're a serious man, with a serious smile 

But the summer is hot and I might surprise you 

In a very short while, we'll have left them behind 

With their faces quite pained as they try to remind themselves 

Oh, it's really so wrong, it's really so out 

And it's really not cool to take a young girl about 

And I know the young man with a century's face 

A philosopher king, he will try to amaze 

With examples of love and examples of hate 

And to see them explode, we will just have to 

It's a simple love story 

It grows better all the time 

You can tell me all about it 

But first, I'll tell you about mine 

You know it's alright to be trustful, have tact 

But the problem's complex, when you keep holding back 

We could talk for an hour, we could talk for a day 

But the people we know would still have their say 

Talk of such virtuous women, talk of such noble men 

But if I'm on the level, I have met none of them 

Oh, I've met troubled people with deep and dark thoughts 

Who have hallowed my name, and sworn I will get caught 

But why waste real feeling, and why waste our time? 

To let the earth bow to no virtue of 

It's a simple love story 

It grows better all the time 

You can tell me all about it 

But first I'll tell you about mine 

You know it's alright to just make mistakes 

But to tail in with hurt, is the gravest make 

We all create lives which we don't understand 

But to point the accused is a job for no man 

And we curse our own longing, and curse our own ways 

I won't be satisfied with my soul that's 

It's a simple love story 

It grows better all the time 

You can tell me all about it 

Now I've told you about mine
