Alfie’s Song (Not So Typical Love Song) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fake young when we met
Everything seemed alright
Like children sing on the sidewalk
Cut straight through the moonlight
[Pre-Chorus]
But how I love those days we didn't get out of bed, oh
Left your taste in my mouth
Your strange voice in my head
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna hear it again
'Cause back then we were caught in a love song so loud, oh, yeah
No, not-so-typical love song
'Cause it hurt us again and again
So sang that I really need you so bad, oh, yeah
No, not-so-typical love song
'Cause it hurt us again and again
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
La-la-la-la-la
Okay, look out
[Verse 2]
You'd leave the cities and chase bullet holes
That's actually starlight, uh
And in those rare moments, you and I were brilliant
We were gonna be alright, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
But, God, I loved those days we couldn't get out of bed
Left your taste in my mouth
All your words in my head
[Chorus]
And now I wanna hear it again
'Cause back then we were caught in a love song so loud, oh. yeah
No, not-so-typical love song
'Cause it hurt us again and again
So sang that I really need you so bad, oh. yeah
No, not-so-typical love song (No, not-so-typical love song)
'Cause it hurt us again and again, woah
[Post-Chorus]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, so bad, oh, yeah
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Outro]
One, two, three, four
I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright with my baby tonight
Said I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright with my baby tonight, oh, yeah
So sang that I really need you so bad, oh, yeah
No, not-so-typical love song
'Cause it hurt us again and again
