Diane and Jack went to the movies

How could have I been wrong about you?
How could I have been so wrong about you?

I can see it from my window
Better take it to the water
Eden is burning

Thinking of Havana
Eating cream and bananas
You and me in the sunshine

With love on our side
With love on our side
Here's the masquerade of our living
Well, I hope it makes you feel better
It's for our own protection
I thought we were forever, me and you
