our love's a strange one
it could leave you lonely
when that sly moon rises
i still wonder how you are

i was the strange girl
you used to tease me sometimes
you were the golden child
All-American boy in their eyes

don't let me tell you about the heartache that I'm feeling
when I know for sure I'll let you know for sure
midnight smoke and candles, people are pairing off
i'm all alone again- but it don't hurt that much
so if you're thinking of me tonight
maybe let it go
maybe iet it go
maybe let it go

oh we could be together
but then we'd fall apart
the child in me you know
she almost took that shot in the dark

don't let me tell you about the heartache that I'm feeling
when I know for sure I'll let you know for sure
midnight smoke and candles, people are pairing off
i'm all alone again- but it don't hurt that much
so if you're thinking of me tonight
maybe let it go
maybe iet it go
maybe let it go
oh could it be, you still think of me?
from time to time when you see that sly moon rise
when the wind blows, God only knows
I still think of you, then I let it go
why can't we say what we want?
why can't we say what we want?

spoken:
I thought I saw blood on the oleanders
and i thought that i was old enough to understand it
when you see that sly moon rise
do you still think of me?

don't let me tell you about the heartache that I'm feeling
when I know for sure I'll let you know for sure
midnight smoke and candles, people are pairing off
i'm all alone again- but it don't hurt that much
so if you're thinking of me tonight
maybe let it go
maybe iet it go
maybe let it go
oh could it be, you still think of me?
from time to time when you see that sly moon rise
when the wind blows, God only knows
I still think of you, then I let it go
why can't we say what we want?
why can't we say what we want?
why can't we say what we want?
why can't we say what we want?
