Lyrics

Cafe girl, me oh my-oh 
Don't do me that way 
Every time you walk by-oh
It takes my breath away 

When we first met, I was a lttle high-oh, 
What's that I heard you say? 
You don't let just any guy-go 
And look at you that way 

CHORUS: 
Some say love is a carousel 
Some say it is a game 
Right away though my heart could tell 
It'll never be the same 

Let's take a ride, let's get away, 
Y ou know time is on the run. 
Right outside there's a summer's day 
That's not owned by anyone. 

I've got a taste, let's leave it all behind us, 
Go walking in the fields. 
I know a place, they'll never find us 
Out in those Maryland hills. 

CHORUS: 
Some say love is an injury 
Some say it's a cure. 
Now that you've gotten into me 
I know my heart is yours. 

Cafe girl, me oh my-oh, 
Why would you go away? 
When you find a pearl pretty as the sky 
Do you throw it straight away? 

I'd travel far, I'd pay in gold 
To know just what went wrong. 
Like a falling star, when I get old 
I still know where I belong. 

CHORUS 
Some say love is an epithet, 
Some say it's a song. 
Your love's the last thing that 
I'll forget On my long way home.
