"The Action" lyrics

All clear heartbreak number 5
Watch my wheels spinning I'm in overdrive
Hit every pocket you were right on cue then you wandered in

Oh what a thrilling distraction
Oh what a way to lose

To the jukebox, something not too fast
Spending all my money filling up our glasses
Up on the table and I hit my head
And it made you laugh

Oh what a thrilling reaction
Oh what a dog to choose

So, I told myself, "What's a boy to do?"
When I saw your face
Fell in love with you
And I'm trying to get a piece of the action
Trying to make a decent start

Sitting at the bar with your left-side lean
Little flowers stitched into your blue jeans
And I'm trying to get a piece of the action
Trying to get a piece of your heart

Now we're dancing upon the stage
And you took a spin with someone more your age
I must confess he had all the moves
Just a young man with nothing to lose

Yeah. He was handsome, just like I used to be

So, I told myself, "What's a boy to do?"
When I saw your face
Fell in love with you
And I'm trying to get a piece of the action
Trying to make a decent start

Sitting at the bar with your left-side lean
Little flowers stitched into your blue jeans
And I'm trying to get a piece of the action
Trying to get a piece of your heart

Ooh, when I look back now
I've been lucky in love
My friend
Ooh, just give we one more chance
And I'll be falling in love again

Sitting at the bar, and to my surprise
You were standing there with your big blue eyes
Said, "I get my kicks teaching old dogs new."

So, I told myself, "What's a boy to do?"
When I saw your face
Fell in love with you
And I'm trying to get a piece of the action
Trying to make a decent start

Sitting at the bar with your left-side lean
Little flowers stitched into your blue jeans
And I'm trying to get a piece of the action
Trying to get a piece of your heart

And I'm trying to get a piece of the action
Trying to get a piece of your heart

And I'm trying to get a piece of the action
