Romance

Girls you read in your magazines
Your True Confessions
Woman and Nineteen
It's an age old joke
A stroke of circumstance
That's what you've come
To know and love as

Romance
Too much drink is
Romance
One slow dance is
(Ro, ro, ro, ro, ro, ro, ro)
Romance

If he happens to catch your eye
Or brushed your leg as he walks by
Every insignificant detail
Every single circumstance
It's all recorded
Distorted and reported as

Romance
Too much drink is
Romance
One slow dance is
(Ro, ro, ro, ro, ro, ro, ro)
Romance

Love is such a wonderful thing
That sometimes when I read
Those young girls magazines
I could scream

If she's at a party
And she's feeling so alone
It's a sad excuse
A bad excuse to forget
About the last bus home it's

Romance
Too much drink is
Romance
One slow dance is
(Ro, ro, ro, ro, ro, ro, ro)
Romance

I've even read it in the front page news
You know the kind of stories
They assure you are true
About those two sordid people
Their sad sex life
Your film star husbands
Other people's wives it's

Romance
Too much drink is
Romance
One slow dance is
(Ro, ro, ro, ro, ro, ro, ro)
Romance
