A Little More Like Love

Gonna stroll into that alley

With my sleeves rolled up high

And my mind's made up, there’s gonna be a fight tonight

Gonna put our tune on the jukebox

Just to get my courage right

Gonna take a shot to help me see through the night

Cause you been dancing with the devil

And wishing on a star

And you’re watching her fall through this hole in the wall bar

And she’s laughing, and you can’t get a word in

And it’s starting to shape up into something a little more like love

You’re going down tonight honey you say

And she smiles politely

As he’s pulling out her chair and buying her the next round

And she tosses her hair back lightly and rolls a cigarette

And your pride takes a dive as she is puts it to his lips

Cause you’ve been sitting with a thief

And she’s running with his heart

And you watch it disappear through this hole in the wall bar

And he’s laughing and you can’t get a word in

And it’s starting to shape up into something a little more like love

When your glass is empty and your heart’s all run down

And the night is flying so fast it nearly knocks you out

When the tune you’re humming takes you back to a love you found

So real and strong that how could it be breaking now?

Head her off on her way to the ladies

Spin around under burnt out footlights

And your mind’s made up you’re gonna take her down and try her on for size

But you been drinking like a champion who’s running late for the race

And you’re stumbling down trying to save some face

And she’s laughing, and you can’t get a word in

And It’s starting to shape up into something a little more like love
