Lacy Loo - The Regrettes

She said…

I gotta keep my head up outta the clouds

They say I’ll die but they won’t show me how

My skin is thick and my knees are weak

I’ll run away for a kiss on the cheek, ow!

Ooh ah

I hate your smile but I like your teeth

Your heart is bright, oh will you run with me?

My lipstick stains on the telephone booth

My mama said to forget about you, ow!

Ooh ah

We packed our bags to get away

He said, «Babe, this is gonna be easy

We’ll be fine, we’ll be okay

I’ve got a van where we can stay

But I don’t need your maybes

I need someone to dance with me, baby»

Cut my hair and changed my face

I’m learnin' how to forget that place

Burned my name to find a new

And now they call me Lacy Loo, ow!

Lacy Loo ah (x2)

We built our fort from sticks and stones

And now your words can’t break our bones

The trees are high and the rivers deep

You’ve given me your heart to keep, ow!

Ooh ah

We packed our bags to get away

He said, «Babe, this is gonna be easy

We’ll be fine, we’ll be okay

I’ve got a van where we can stay

But I don’t need your maybes

I need someone to dance with me, baby»

Kept my head in the clouds and my skin still tough

But my knees aren’t weak in the city of love
