You want different positions
To keep your love-life succesful, and you want a happy ending
With lots of stud potential - reliable and perpetual
Without being distasteful, oo-ee
My papa says it's not the size
Nor the way it's looking, it's the way it moves
On stiletto shoes - papa sure improves
But I bet he's just tryin' to be commercial, yeah
So let me say something simple to you
Before we get to do the do: Baby I love you
That takes care of that, you can take off your hat
You and me gotta be the lucky few
There's a tourist in the city
That went and lost his lady - on purpose, if you ask me
He'll have to find a reason to cover up the treason
Meanwhile let's hope the night never ends
Meanwhile let's hope the night never ends
'Cause mad love is coming, I know mad love is coming
Mad, mad love is coming
I know mad love is coming
Mad love is coming
I know mad love is coming
Out on the corner - city boy routine
Right on the border of enemy territory
This is how far you've come, this is how far you've gone
There's a fool's moon out, sirens too loud
And it's cruel cruel - street's a mean school
Too many blows - below the belt, you know
This is how far you've come, this is how far you've gone
There's a fool's moon out, makin' me shout
Mad love is coming, not too soon
On beds that sail out of the blue
Mad love is coming, all day through
Who's afraid of that romance is doomed
Mad love is coming, all over your walls
Into your lives, it creeping crawls
This is how far you've come, this is how far you've gone
There's a fool's moon out, makin' me shout
Mad love is coming, not too soon
On beds that sail out of the blue
Mad love is coming, all day through
Who's afraid of that romance is doomed
To keep your love-life succesful, and you want a happy ending
With lots of stud potential - reliable and perpetual
Without being distasteful, oo-ee
