Lyrics

You smell like a million roses bathed in rock and roll
Ours was the greatest love story ever told
Throat like an angel with a voice that was made of gold
That's my baby

He was the king of the town with a crown that would never fall
Heart that would beat like a bass for his baby doll
A one-in-a-million inimitable soul
That's my baby

Young or old, summer or cold
Young or old, summer or cold

You've got a way like JFK when you do it
The way that you move, it spins me 'round
Like a record, baby
And you've got a soul like no one I know
You're so new at it, the way you see through that shit
Breaks my heart and it drives me crazy

He was the king of the town with a crown that would never fall
A heart like a bass that would beat for his baby doll
Mind like a diamond, an inimitable soul
That's my baby

Young or old, summer or cold
Young or old, summer or cold

You've got a way like JFK when you do it
The way that you move, it spins me 'round
Like a record, baby
And you've got a soul like no one I know
You're so new at it, the way you see through that shit
Breaks my heart and it drives me crazy
It drives me crazy

You've got it and I want it
Late summer nights, in July, flaunt it
You know that you can always come home
To the one who gave you your name
'Cause I see a light in your eyes — it's so bright
And the skies, they open wide for you
So come to me, my baby

You've got a way like JFK when you do it
The way that you move, it spins me 'round
Like a record, baby
And you've got a soul like no one I know
You're so new at it, the way you see through that shit
Breaks my heart and it drives me crazy

It drives me crazy
It drives me crazy
Crazy, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
