Same Old News

I just want to love you, I just want to try

I know we're the subject of a thousand prying eyes

I worry about the gossip, do you think that we'll be fine?

There ain't no way to stop it, so I won't change my mind

I would run away with you any day

If we could

But I don't think that running anywhere

Would do us any good

We just keep on making

The same old news

People talk about us, but what would they do without us?

It's the same old news

I just want to love you

But it's causing so much trouble

I guess it's the same old, same old news

I just want to love you in some old-fashion way

Instead, we're picked apart for everything we say

I would change my name for you

(What would you change it?)

To anything, for what it's worth

Mmm, oh, but I know that they'd find us anyway

At the corners of the earth

We just keep on making

The same old news

I'm feeling overtired from being so hardwired

It's the same old news

Causing such a fuss that they want to lock us up

Well, ain't it a shame the way they exclaim?

Like being in love is something they want us to explain

But I guess it's the same old

Same old news

Oh, let's move onto an island a million miles from shore

At least until they build a tower (Mmm)

Where there wasn't one before

We just keep on making

The same old news

People talk about us, but what would they do without us?

It's the same old news

I just want to love you

But it's causing so much trouble

It's the same old, same old news

Every time we kiss

I can hear them start to whisper

They know all our secrets (Yes, they do)

And they know where we've been (Oh)

Well, they're inside our head

And underneath our skin, yeah

Oh, haven't you heard? (Oh)

It's so absurd (Oh)

Well, I think it's a waste

But it's still a basic human urge

To keep spreading the same old, same old

Same old, same old

Same old, same old news
