She's a small town girl with no room to grow And he's a reckless boy with no where to go They're like birds in a cage with no place to fly So he parks the car and she holds him tight
And they rage on some how searching for the answers In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone They rage on
On the same dark night two more people meet In a rented room on a cross town street And she's lost her youth and he's lost his dreams But for a while they feel like they used to feel
And they rage on Against the lives that this world gave them Hoping something's there to save them They rage on rage on
And somewhere between right and wrong In the grey between dusk and dawn They tell themselves they're not alone Cause they rage on
And they rage on some how searching for the answers In the night like shadow dancers before their time is gone They rage on
They rage on against the lives that this life gave them Hoping something's there to save them They rage on they rage on
I just had to call, cause babe I got your letter And I understood almost every line You said T. L. C. is what you miss from me You want back in my arms P.D.Q. And ooh I love this game Them three letters by your name L.O.A. what does that say?
She said ooh baby it's so simple I did not mean to make it hard to understand I've been gone so long Want you to know I miss my man oh yes I do And that message for you Tells you what I'm gonna do when I get home oh yeah
(Chorus) L.O.A. (Love on arrival) For you (Love on arrival) L.O.A. is what I'm gonna give to you I've been countin' the days I've been lonely, I've been blue (Love on arrival) For you (Love on arrival) And now after all this time I've got nothing on my mind but L.O.A. (Love on arrival) For you.
I said ooh baby I do love you And I'm always amazed the way we fit And I T.G.I.F. Thank God I found you when I did, oh yes I do Them three letters by your name I will just give you just the same When you get home, oh yes I will
(repeat chorus)
(Bridge) I don't need no confirmation I get it right here in my land Don't need no translation You done spelled it out with words That I can understand L.O.A. ooh ooh ooh, L.O.A.
(repeat chorus)
And now after all this time I've got nothing on my mind but L.O.A. (Love on arrival)
He walked his sweetheart down the aisle You should have seen his mama cry She was the only girl for him And he would never, never leave her side
And daddy sends them the money down To build a castle in the sky Just like a magazine romance A springtime honeymoon in France
Soon comes the bouncin' baby boy And he's the apple of her eye A custom-made recipe for joy A gift that money couldn't buy But Bobby's staying out late at night And Mary's drinkin' on the sly
(chorus) Is this some world that I'm dreaming of? Is there somebody above? Teach us to play the game of love.
Pushing and pullin', tears on the pillow Digging in deeper each day She wants his lovin', he says she's changin' and slipping away Who needs the heartache of staying together? Let's call it a day.
Some people say right from the start That love is just a foolish game And when we end up against the wall To find somebody else to blame But if the loser gets the broken heart How come the winner gets the same? The winner get the same. We just pick up the house of cards So we can do it all again.
