Lyrics
Put down your defense
Talk to your friends
Use common sense
Let your poor heart mend
Hurry, come on
We all want to belong
No one was wrong
You got to carry on
By the way that you talk
It?s right here in the parking lot
Where you only come out at night
You?re a bright star
And you?re outa sight
Remember long ago
When you took things slow
Though you didn?t know
You let your feelings show
Easy to exist
Just put away your fist
Cross him off your list
Don?t need an exorcist
Was it last December?
Or was it in September?
Why can?t I remember?
Why can?t I remember?
Why can?t I remember?
Before you explode
another episode
You?ll have to unload
Try your secret code
It?s all up to you
With what you do
Throw out the old shoe
It?s way overdo
