Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Slipped through the window by the back door
Caught short in transit with my love
Jumped up, fell back cut off from romance
How could I fall without a shove
[Verse 2]
Tip toed like thunder on my feelings
You rock me gently with your sighs
My knees are weak, my head is reelin'
Consumed by the fire in your eyes
Don't you know why? Goodness oh, why?
[Verse 3]
Stepped in and shattered my defenses
Just playing hokey with my heart
Slipped through the window by the back door
And took the keys to my poor heart
Yes, my poor heart
[Verse 4]
Try as I might, try as I may
Yes, I'll try anything to make you stay
'Cause I need your love, yes, I need your love
Yes, I need your love, oh, I need your love
[Verse 5]
I'm lookin' high, I'm lookin' low
Can't find where did my baby go
Gotta find out why ran away
I don't know where did my baby stay
[Verse 6]
Try as I might, try as I may
I'll do anything to make you stay
[Verse 7]
Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour
Shot through the neon in the night
Hot foot through alleys, check the door ways
Try that old parking lot on North
[Verse 8]
There's three course kissin' in the same place
Oh, but that don't help me out no more
I've been away so long and dreamin'
Little girl ain't I seen you before
[Verse 9]
Little girl
