"The Popular View" lyrics

Well, it's the popular view
That first there's one and then two and then three
And in the popular view
Love makes you black and then blue and then green with envy
Where does that leave me and you
This popular view?

Night, I was blacker than the night
Street below, rain above
Nobody knew what I was thinking of
Uh-oh, that night
And then I bumped into the figure of
My lover of the future that night

And it's the popular view
That first there's one and then two and then three
And in the popular view
Love makes you black and then blue and then green with envy
Where does that leave me and you
This popular view?

Red, I saw God I saw red
Well, mama says it's not allowed that three's a crowd
Uh-oh in bed
Then I looked into the future of
The figure of my lover, and said

That it's the popular view
That first there's me and there's you
Oh yes, and in the popular view
First you get one and then two
And then three and then four
Five and then six
Seven and eight
Heaven can wait!
Nine and then ten and then do it again
Where does this leave me and you?

Gold, like the sun she turns me to gold
I go crazy if I'm away too much
Without that Midas touch, uh-uh-uh I'm cold
And when I looked into the figures of
The future of a lover I was told

That it's the popular view
That first there's one and then two and then three
And in the popular view
Love makes you black and then blue and then green with envy
Where does that leave me and you
This popular view?
Where does that leave me and you
This popular view?
Where does that leave me and you
This popular view?
Where does that leave me and you

This popular view (Popular view)
Talkin' 'bout the popular view (Popular view)
All about the popular view (Popular view)
I bid you to the popular view (Popular view)
The pop, pop, pop, pop, popular view (Popular view)
The pop, to the pop, to the pop (Popular view)
To the pop, pop, to the popular (Popular view)
The popular view
