Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I start to care
Then I find there is no one there
But I think of you
And I know we are something new
[Verse 2]
We get higher and higher, crazy blue
Like St. Elmo's fire, love's so sharp and flat
That it's hard to know just where you're at
And now I know I want you, I want you to be my woman
Now I know I want you, I want you to be my woman
[Verse 3]
Got the werewolf split
When the moon's full, I howl at it
But it's mostly fake
I'm in love with the love we make
[Verse 4]
We get higher and higher, crazy blue
Like St. Elmo's fire, love's so sharp and flat
That it's hard to know just where you're at
And now I know I want you, I want you to be my woman
Now I know I want you, I want you to be my woman
[Verse 5]
When my son's full grown
And he blows mean xylophone
You and I stay tan
In the sun, down in Yucatan
[Verse 6]
We'll get higher and higher, crazy blue
Like St. Elmo's fire, love's so sharp and flat
That it's hard to know just where you're at
And now I know I want you, I want you to be my woman
Now I know I want you, I want you to be my woman
[Verse 7]
When I start to care
Then I find there is no one there
But I think of you
And I know we are something new
