"Love In A Bubble" lyrics

"Love In A Bubble"

I met this girl and she was lost on a cross street
She was walkin' up 14th on a sunny day
I asked her nicely if she needed some assistance
She said 'Hey, I'm just tryin' to pass the time away'
So we started talking and we slipped around the corner
Heading downtown for a café au lait
I got to thinkin' that she wanted something stronger
She said, 'I'm just tryin' to pass the time away'

Time away, love in a bubble
Time away, I'm in trouble
You got the money, honey, make mine a double
I love my love in a bubble

Down at MacDougal we were getting pretty hungry
So we ordered pizza and the waiter was gay
Poured out the vino and he asked if we were married
She said 'Hey, I'm just tryin' to pass the time away'
So we sat for hours and we talked about the weather
'Bout the government, the country and the price that you pay
I said 'Hey, baby, do you wanna hear some music?'
She said, 'Hey, I'm just tryin' to pass the time away'

Time away, love in a bubble
Time away, I'm in trouble
You got the money, honey, make mine a double
I love my love in a bubble

Down in the basement with some groovy Hammond organ
I said 'Dance with me, Baby, hey what do you say?'
So she bopped a bit and she boogalooed and she did the mashed potato
Singin' 'Hey I'm just tryin' to pass the time away'
Four in the morning, we were getting pretty tired
She said 'You know I only live a block or two away'
So I looked at her and I took her hand and we headed up on 7th
Singin' 'Hey we're just gonna pass the time away'

Time away, love in a bubble
Time away, I'm in trouble
You got the money, honey, make mine a double
I love my

Time away, love in a bubble
Time away, I'm in trouble
You got the money, honey, make mine a double
I love my, I love my, I love my love in a bubble
