I'M JUST A WOMAN
Roxette
What's the time?
Seems it's already morning.
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue.
The TV's on but the only thing showing is a picture of you.
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee.
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin.
I thank the lord above that you're not here to see me
in this shape I'm in
Spending my time, watching the days go by.
Feeling so small, I stare at the wall,
hoping that you think of me too.
I'm spending my time
I try to call
but I don't know what to tell you.
4TH OF JULY, ASBURY PARK (SANDY)
Sandy the fireworks are hailin' over Little Eden tonight
Forcin' a light into all those stoned-out faces left stranded
on this Fourth of July
Down in town the circuit's full with switchblade lovers so fast
so shiny so sharp
And the wizards play down on Pinball Way on the boardwalk way past dark
And the boys from the casino dance with their shirts open like Latin
lovers along the shore
Chasin' all them silly New York girls
Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us, the pier lights our carnival
life forever
Love me tonight for I may never see you again, hey Sandy girl
Now the greasers they tramp the streets or get busted for trying to
sleep on the beach all night
Them boys in their spiked high heels ah Sandy their skins are so white
And me I just got tired of hangin' in them dusty arcades bangin' them
pleasure machines
Chasin' the factory girls underneath the boardwalk where they promise
to unsnap their jeans
And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag
I got on it last night and my shirt got caught
And that Joey kept me spinnin' I didn't think I'd ever get off
Oh Sandy the aurora is risin' behind us
The pier lights our carnival life on the water
Runnin' down the beach at night with my boss's daughter
Well he ain't my boss no more Sandy
Sandy the angels have lost their desire for us
I spoke to `em just last night and they said they won't set
themselves on fire for us anymore
Every summer when the weather gets hot they ride that road down from
heaven on their Harleys they come and they go
And you can see `em dressed like stars in all the cheap little seashore
bars parked making love with their babies out on the Kokomo
Well the cops finally busted Madame Marie for tellin' fortunes better
than they do
This boardwalk life for me is through
You know you ought to quit this scene too
Sandy the aurora's rising behind us, the pier lights our
carnival life forever
Oh love me tonight and I promise I'll love you forever
