Elizabeth

Theres a distance in your eyes That's why a smile is always such a surprise When you call and you talk to me I wonder which person you're gonna be She said "All your songs are sad songs Why do you always have to see the worst of it? Could you write me just one love song? Put my name somewhere in the middle of it It's not hard to rhyme Elizabeth Just close your eyes boy and take your best guess Cause the truth is hard, isn't it?" She said "I'll be listening in my favorite white dress." All these quiet afternoons She said "I wonder if I've given up my love too soon." As her hair fell from her curls I said, "You're pretty uptight for a Mexican girl." She said "All your songs are sad songs Why do you always have to make me feel like shit? Could you write me just one love song? And put my name somewhere in the middle of it And if you called the song Elizabeth All my friends will know that it's about me Cause the truth is hard, isnt' it? But don't take too long cause I know you'll come back to me." Wooo ooooh wooo oooohh I said "All these songs are love songs Just love at times can make you feel like shit So you write a string of words down It's better if there's some truth in it It's true I love you Elizabeth I love the way you move in that silly white dress Cause the truth is hard to admit I've never known love this is just my best guess."
