Joe Jackson
Love Got Lost
[Verse 1]
Here we go, Monday morning at last
In the land of the brave and the bold
Sunlight is hurting my eyes
But it's on to the glittering prize
There's a rent to pay

[Verse 2]
Gimme a coffee to go, make it fast
There'll be a merger before it gets cold
They've closed down the whole seventh floor
The young guns are ready for war
But I'm holding on

[Chorus]
Long ago and far away
I was safe and sound
But love got lost
Along the way

[Verse 3]
Saturday night, went to see La Bohème
Used the spare ticket just for my coat
I guess I should swallow my pride
But I'd be damned if I'd hawk it outside
In the pouring rain
[Verse 4]
Monday morning and no one to blame
Keep hitting icebergs but I'm still afloat
I'd like a new body and face
But I'd settle for a friend with a space
On their calendar

[Chorus]
Hard to know and hard to say
Wonder what I've found
But love got lost
Along the way

[Bridge]
Here comes Mr. Worldly and Wise
If he touches me again I'll scream
I can't stand his sensitive eyes
Like I'm some dying diva to him
Touch me
Don't touch me
Touch me
Don't touch
Don't touch me
Don't touch me

[Chorus]
Long ago and far away
I was safe and sound
But love got lost
Along the way
