GIRLFRIEND IN HARLEM

1V -
I HAD A GIRLFRIEND IN HARLEM
IN ICELAND ITS ALL GOOD
AND WE WALKED IN THE SUNSHINE A WAYS
AND WE TILTED AT WINDMILLS
I STILL DO AND WILL DO
AND I WILL TIL THE END OF MY DAYS

BUT WE STALLED OUT ON THE WAY
AND WE RAN STRAIGHT OUTTA TIME
THERE WAS NOTHIN LEFT TO SAY
THERE WERE JUST TOO MANY SIGNS

HOLD ME JUST THE WAY IT USED TO BE
HOLD ME TIL THE END IS IN THE PAST
TELL ME THAT THE ONLY ONE IS ME
NEVER SAY ITS NEVER GONNA LAST

2V -
THRU THE TEAR DROPS AND HEARTACHES
AND LONG SCARS ITS PART OF
STILL I TRANSCEND THE SORROW AND PAIN
AND I DONT JUDGE THE NEXT BY THE LAST ONE
ITS UNFAIR
AND BESIDES THAT THERES NOTHING TO GAIN

IF I HAD A 2ND CHANCE
I WOULD SAVOR MORE THE LOVE
I WOULD SAFEGUARD OUR ROMANCE
AND ALWAYS KEEP IT RAISED SO HIGH ABOVE

BABY LOVE ME THE WAY IT SHOULD BE
LOVE ME TIL THE END IS IN THE PAST
HOLD ME JUST THE WAY IT USED TO BE
HOLD ME TIL THE END IS IN THE PAST
