I'm tired of waiting for love to come my way I want my loving before my hair turns gray All these movie lovers thrill me through and through
Now I just might have excitement too Believe me I'm crazy for one big thrill I wanna be loved and held
I'm willing to say I will Why can't you love that way Somebody must guarantee To dive in that deep blue sea Or jump off a bridge for me Why can't you love that way?
I'm getting tired of holding hands by Down by the village pump I need excitement my heart demands Something to make it bumpity bump
I know of the perfect gent who gave his girl his last cent He's sleeping now in a tent Why can't you love that way?
Oh, gee I'm crazy for one big thrill I wanna be loved and held My fever turns to a chill Oh, why can't you love that way?
Somebody must guarantee A lot of L.O.V.E It's gotta be H.L.T Why can't you love that way?
Can't I discover the boy for me After the years I've tried I must have another reason Than I'd be more than satisfied
Collect every monthly rent He gives his girl ten perfect Why... An' another fella... To prove that he loves just one Romeo brought a gun Shot himself just this one Why can't you love that way?
