lyrics
She’s the one I told you about
She’s in the sun while my head’s in the clouds
When they say enough is enough
I’ve gotta do my best to
Fight for love
Smile for me and give me a wink
Before you laugh you’ve gotta tell me what you think
And before they pull out the rug
I’m gonna make a conscious effort to
Fight for love
And it feels good
You’ve got me figured out
You know what I’m all about
Though it’s new to us
I’m making baby steps toward St. Louis
You were inside my head
Controlled what I felt and what I said
And I’m doing my best to go on my way
She’s the one I told you about
Though she thinks I’m just blowing smoke from my mouth
And before they pull the plug
I’m gonna give it a shot to
Fight for Love
You’ve got me figured out
You know what I’m all about
Though it’s new to us
I’m making baby steps toward St. Louis
You were inside my head
Controlled what I felt and what I said
You’ve got me figured out
You know what I’m all about
Though it’s new to us
I’m making baby steps towards St. Louis
You were inside my head
Controlled what I felt and what I said
And I found the road to be a long one
In the cold, chasing the summer sun
I fit your mold, but we’re better this way
She’s in the sun while my head’s in the clouds
When they say enough is enough
I’ve gotta do my best to
Fight for love
Smile for me and give me a wink
Before you laugh you’ve gotta tell me what you think
And before they pull out the rug
I’m gonna make a conscious effort to
Fight for love
And it feels good
You’ve got me figured out
You know what I’m all about
Though it’s new to us
I’m making baby steps toward St. Louis
You were inside my head
Controlled what I felt and what I said
And I’m doing my best to go on my way
She’s the one I told you about
Though she thinks I’m just blowing smoke from my mouth
And before they pull the plug
I’m gonna give it a shot to
Fight for Love
You’ve got me figured out
You know what I’m all about
Though it’s new to us
I’m making baby steps toward St. Louis
You were inside my head
Controlled what I felt and what I said
You’ve got me figured out
You know what I’m all about
Though it’s new to us
I’m making baby steps towards St. Louis
You were inside my head
Controlled what I felt and what I said
And I found the road to be a long one
In the cold, chasing the summer sun
I fit your mold, but we’re better this way
