Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Burn you a CD, I send it across the nation

I call you from a payphone at the old gas station

He's rolling cigarettes up and I'm rolling off his molly

My friends all fucking hate him, but when has that ever stopped me?

"It's love, it's love, it's love"

I say to myself when he doesn't pick up

"It's love, it's love, it's love"

The more that I chase him, the faster he runs

Hold me close, let me know

Wear his clothes, whisper in my ear

Hold me close, let me know

Wear his clothes, whisper in my ear

Big blue eyes batting lashes right at you

If you wanna fall for me, I promise I would catch you

Put up a pretty picture, yeah, I'm praying that you saw it

I put your record on to dance around my old apartment

"It's love, it's love, it's love"

I scream to the clouds at the top of my lungs

"It's love, it's love, it's love"

Pushing me out, but I never give up

Hold me close, let me know

Wear his clothes, whisper in my ear

Hold me close, let me know

Wear his clothes, whisper in my ear

He's sterling silver and I'm so gold

I know I'm much hotter, but I prefer them real cold

I really need him bad like a new accessory

I'd fashion him sitting on the couch right next to me

It's better if you don't say a word

Makes you wanna chase 'em down more

Better if we live in different worlds

Keep his name carved with a heart in my underwear drawer

Hold me close, let me know

Wear his clothes, whisper in my ear

Hold me close, let me know

Wear his clothes, whisper in my ear

Hold me close, let me know

Wear his clothes, whisper in my ear
