"Alfie's Song (Not So Typical Love Song)" lyrics

Fake young when we met
Everything seemed alright
Like children sing on the sidewalk
Cut straight through the moonlight

But how I loved those days we didn't get out of bed
Left your taste in my mouth, your strange voice in my head

Oh, I wanna hear it again
'Cause back then we were caught in a love song
So loud, oh yeah
No. Not-so-typical love song
'Cause it hurt us again and again
So sang that I really need you
So bad, oh yeah
No. Not-so-typical love song
'Cause it hurt us again and again

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey
La-la-la-la-la
Okay, look out

You'd leave the cities and chase bullet holes that's actually starlight
And in those rare moments you and I were brilliant, we were gonna be alright

But—God!—I loved those days we couldn't get out of bed
Left your taste in my mouth, all your words in my head

And now I wanna hear it again
'Cause back then we were caught in a love song
So loud, oh yeah
No. Not-so-typical love song
'Cause it hurt us again and again
So sang that I really need you
So bad, oh yeah
No. Not-so-typical love song
No. Not-so-typical love song
'Cause it hurt us again and again, whoa

Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, so bad, oh, yeah
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
1, 2, 3, 4

I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright with my baby tonight
Said I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright
I wanna be alright with my baby tonight, oh yeah
So sang that I really need you
So bad, oh yeah
No. Not-so-typical love song
'Cause it hurt us again and again
