All Of A Sudden lyrics

Well, lots of little pieces make up the little girl
Such a tiny thing in this great big world
Well, now I've got to find out what's crackin' up
My little buttercup
I got to take her to the doll hospital

Well I bought her a dollhouse and a Corvette too
She's got everything's Barbie's got, I'm tellin' you
But every time I make a move just to touch her hair

These days it's hard to have fun
Looking for a little girl, a little undone
By the progress of man
By the touch of a loving hand

Maybe we touch too much
You and me, baby, I'm not good in a clutch
I'm not gonna sit and cry
Though I'm an unlucky guy
I'm forever wondering

CHORUS:
Forever yours
Forever yours
Forever opening doors
Forever yours
Forever yours
Forever

Just a basement party with some high school friends
Boys touching girls, like they did back then
But that fat boy you invited
He's getting excited

Underneath red lights he can't believe his eyes
Pushing back his tears while fingers crawl up thighs
And it all seems so damned one-sided

CHORUS:
Now he's getting excited
He's getting excited
And he knows what happens

Who tipped you off
How could she betray me
These hungry fingers
They found us guilty for love
And she said her lips were sealed
Easing my conscience

Now what has been done
That you were the first one to know
I thought we were sleeping
Who said that dreams don't come true?
This was her dream for revenge
She had to tell you

CHORUS:
I could use an angel
Can't refuse an angel

Why did she wear that dress tonight
Why did she bring that stranger
She looks put out in the party lights
Which leaves us all in danger
When she drops her perfumed hankie

CHORUS:
I look for love
I look for love
I look for love
I look for love

I hate the way we carry on
These fashion consultations
Do all these wires we sing along
Require such insulation

Oh, Marianne
Please don't marry that insurance man

I just saw your picture in the paper
Surrounded by extensive wedding plans
Tell me this is just one of your capers
Say you haven't met with their demands

CHORUS:
Oh, Marianne
Love talks cheap and faster than I can
Oh, Marianne
Please don't marry that insurance man

I can't see you packing up his lunches

We've been training
Now we look like each other
Face down and
Booked and printed for young lovers
Even as I write out of this song
The ink wears off but the beat goes on

CHORUS:
I pledge my edge of the razor
No minor league night in the majors
Even though we cut up, we can really cut 'em down
Though you're sharper than me, it's too late to turn around

Heavy trading

They took enough of my mind
To make a calculator
Addin' up the figures, they'll find
That love's a dumbwaiter

Waitin' for the dream to fade
Right into you hit parade
Maybe I've made that long black list
But I was born when we first kissed

CHORUS:
Not another overnight story
No overnight success
We've hung around too long for glory
Is it too late for happiness?

Now your private life
Is in the public domain
And your one true love is just a lipstick stain

And your point of view
Is just a figure of speech
Well I rest my case, you're out of reach

CHORUS:
Havin' some fun
Havin' some fun now
Havin' some fun
Havin' some fun now

Well the tough get goin', and the good die young
Maybe you're the only good your mama ever done

I get jumpy
Wanna step on the gas
Drive right out of
this place fast
She says, "Red light
I'll take those keys"
Out of my mind and
On my knees

CHORUS:
Something happens
And I don't know why
I can't seem to get my future
Out of her eyes
Something happens
And never for sure
If I could name this sickness
I'd be cured
I'd be cured

She's long distance
And it's a grind

It's that mechanical motion
Skin -tight when the nights are bloodless
Lip-sync the latest notion
From zombie drill instructors

Throw out of all the parties
Maybe it's time for me to bed
Now his eyeball's runnin'
Just like a razor down her leg

CHORUS:
Baby's joined the walking dead
Up from her grave
Another white slave
Nothin' goes in or out of her head
Never you mind

I dreamed I was being kept alive
To bear the brunt of a family joke
About which no one spoke

To multiply and divide
This hideous thing, this human kind
With something else on his mind

I was going to bed
You were saying, "I do"
Then I lost my head

CHORUS:
When I awoke
I was living this secret life
Complete with a secret dog
And a secret wife
In another zone

There's something broken in my heart
Oh it was nothing you done
There's something broken in my heart
I guess that's just the way it comes

There's something broken in my heart
Something I just can't fix
There's something broken
Something broken in my heart

I've tried every powder and every pill
To put it back together somehow
Rode high with the fool up on the hill
