She was sittin' cross -legged
smokin' a bum cigarette
Black Chuck T's and
checkin' her phone
She might as well have had a T -shirt on
It said beautiful and hard to get
She took away your breath
like smoke
All you know right now
is what you didn't know then
Can't fall for a bird then cage it in
If you're gonna love her,
gotta love her when she cries
If you're gonna love her,
love that 2am neon in her eyes
If you're gonna love her,
gotta let go when she flies
To count the stars in the sky like a child
If you're gonna love her,
leave her wild
Love her, leave her wild
She's got a touch of what a star
Kerouac in his tracks
Made him and Wake,
his parrots, goodbye
Her red bandana's fast asleep
in your bedside drawer
And why she's out some
where up all night
You tried to tell her
she was livin' her life all wrong
But is it that would turn you on, turn you on?
If you're gonna love her,
gotta love her when she cries
If you're gonna love her,
love that 2 a .m. neon in her eyes
If you're gonna love her,
gotta let go when she flies
To count the stars in the sky like a child
If you're gonna love her,
leave her wild
Love her, leave her wild
Leave that recklessness her
soul when she spins
Leave that heaven in her
heart for two she is
She's to change us like
trying to change the sky
From blue to red without the sunshine
If you're gonna love her,
gotta love her when she cries
If you're gonna love her,
love her till I am beyond her eyes
If you're gonna love her, gotta let go
When she flies to count the stars
in the sky like a child
If you're gonna love her, leave her
Why? Love her, leave her
Why? You know
you gotta leave her
Why? Why? Love believer
Why? Oh
