Lyrics

Solid Love

We've got a break, unbelievable
We got a break
Right in the middle of this Hollywood heartache
We got this solid love

All around the town good hearts are going under
Love bandits con and plunder
Let nobody put asunder this solid love

We got a chance, hot dog darlin'
We got a chance, no more, no more
Fly by night romance
We got this solid love

Love has always made me feel so uneasy
I couldn't relax and just be me
More like some strange disease
Than this solid love

Tested and blessed, darlin'
I'm gonna give you my very best
You're my hope, you're my happiness
You open my heart, you do
You open my heart
You do, yes you do

We got a break, unbelievable
We got a break, right in the middle of this
Hollywood heartache
We got this solid love

All around the town good hearts are going under
Love bandits con and plunder
Let no man put asunder this solid love

We got a chance, hot dog darlin'
We got a chance, no more, no more
Fly by night romance
We got this solid love

Love has always made me feel so uneasy
I couldn't relax and just be me
More like some strange disease
Than this solid love

Tested and blessed, darlin'
I'm gonna give you my very best
You are my happiness
You open my heart up, you do

    Why Matt Maltese rescued ‘Florence’ after once finding it too sincere
