The Getaway

[Intro: Sample from Dangerously Yours]

You are very young, you are clever, and you are very beautiful

Because of your youth, you should be exceptionally valuable to us

And I was very lonely, so I thought tonight I will have an adventure

If I'm never to see you again, I can forget you in a minute, you'll see

[Refrain]

She's just pretending

She's just pretending

She's just pretending

You were wrong, I wasn't

I loved you

She's just pretending

She's just pretending

She's just pretending

You were wrong, I wasn't

I loved you

[Verse 1]

Well, this thing that we had built was flaying into shreds

It was sharp and it was dry

Like the hair on a shrunken head

And all the king's men spread the pieces on the floor

By the time they fit together

We had forgotten what they were for

Pretending like she's beautiful in the pictures I can see

But she only picks the good ones

And that's more than I can say for me, ooh

[Chorus]

But that's the way it always starts

You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts

Always making out like bandits

Until you get away and it falls apart

It falls apart

[Verse 2]

You're always dressed up like a priest

You're always drilling through the wall

Cracking the safe and skipping town

While poor Rosemary takes the fall

You're always looking for the future

Rinsing out the dye

Looking for a moral to the story that sounded good and happened to rhyme

Rosemary on the gallows

Dressed like nothing's wrong

No funeral, no flowers

For an outlaw in a song, ooh

[Chorus]

But that's the way it always starts

You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts

Always making out like bandits

Until you get away and it falls apart

It falls apart

[Refrain]

She's just pretending

She's just pretending

She's just pretending

You were wrong, I wasn't

I loved you

She's just pretending

She's just pretending

She's just pretending

You were wrong, I wasn't

I loved you

[Chorus]

But that's the way it always starts

You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts

Always making out like bandits

Until you get away and it falls apart

It falls apart, ooh

[Outro]

But that's the way it always starts (That's the way it always starts)

That's the way it always starts (That's the way it always starts)

That's the way it always starts (That's the way it always starts)

You feel like Lily and the Jack of Hearts

I wasn't, I loved you
