Fleeting Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wake up and it's half past four
My baby, she turns her face to the wall
I ain't gonna cry, but it ain't that funny no more
I pulled on a blanket made of stars
I wrap up my darling all nice and warm
I ain't gonna lie, but I don't want the truth no more

[Chorus]
Everybody knows
Ain't found this good since the Stone Age
When my undying love was just a phase
On her way to the club, I hear her say
She'd dance the night away
Everybody needs some fleeting love

[Verse 2]
I follow my baby up the hotel stairs
And I'm lying into the back of her legs
I ain't gonna buy whatever it is they're selling no more
I wake up later and it's half past five
My baby she stretches, opens her eyes, she says
"I ain't gonna lie, but I could get to like you, babe"

[Chorus]
Everybody knows
Ain't found this good since the Stone Age
When my undying love was just a phase
On her way to the club, I hear her say
She'd dance the night away
Everybody needs some fleeting love

Ain't found this good since the Stone Age
When my undying love was just a phase
When she opened her eyes, I heard her cry
Saying, "Darling, don't you sigh
'Cause everybody needs some fleeting love"
