| Well it was me and burkam running circles 'round the joint
|
| Trying to jump on the circus trying to get across our point
|
| Yeah, we were young and dumb and looking for a fight
|
| Burning both ends of the candle at both ends of the night
|
| She was walking gracefully like she stepped out of a cocoon
|
| Down through manhattan boulevard and first avenue
|
| With her black frame glasses and her daisy perfume, I said
|
| Have we met before? |
| She said no it’s only noon
|
| Uh oh, to be young and dumb and in love
|
| To be young and dumb and in love
|
| Baby, you got me ten feet off the ground
|
| I’m talking too much and you don’t make a sound
|
| The prettiest face and those Rockabye baby browns
|
| All I’ve waited for’s come true
|
| To be young and dumb and in love
|
| With you you-you-you
|
| With you you-you-you
|
| Well we sat in the park grass so scared of the past
|
| Rolling 'round like blankets oh this won’t last
|
| Dancing to five-spot records with smoke in the air
|
| You could smell it the morning you could smell it in her hair
|
| Found myself on my knees a little more each night
|
| Is this what I’ve waited for all of my life
|
| Put your hand with a feather tattoo on your wrist
|
| On this skinny little white boys fat hustling hips
|
| Uh oh, to be young and dumb and in love
|
| To be young and dumb and love
|
| Baby, you got me ten feet off the ground
|
| I’m talking too much and you don’t make a sound
|
| The prettiest face and those Rockabye baby browns
|
| All I’ve waited for’s come true
|
| To be young and dumb and in love
|
| With you you-you-you
|
| She’s not like any other girl
|
| She’s got me crying first, dying first, waiting for the repo man
|
| Well under the weeping willows and a sea fireflies
|
| With your gypsy necklace on and my big brown bow tie
|
| You kissed my lips like I was catching a flight
|
| I said if I’m honest I fell for you that first night
|
| If I’m honest I fell for you that first night
|
| That first night oh-oh
|
| To be young and dumb and in love
|
| To be young and dumb and in love
|
| To be young and dumb and in love
|
| To be young and dumb and in love
|
| With you-you-you |
