well it was me and burkam
running circles round the joint
trying to jump on the circus
trying to get across our point
ya we were young and dump
and looking for a fight
burning both ends of the candle
at both ends of the night
she was walking gracefully like
she stepped out of a cocoon
down through manhattan boulevard
and first avenue
with her black frame glasses
and her daisy perfume i said
have we met before she said no its only noon
uh oh to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and in love
baby you got me ten feet off the ground
im talking too much and
you don't make a sound
the prettiest face and
those rockabye baby browns
all i've waited for's come true
to be young and dumb and in love
with you you you you
well we sat in the park grass
so scared of the past
rolling round like blankets oh this wont last
dancing to five spot records
with smoke in the air
you could smell it the morning
your could smell it in her hair
found myself on my knees
a little more each night
is this what i've waited for for all of my life
put your hand with a feather
tattoo on your wrist
on this skinny little white boys fat hustling hips
uh oh to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and love
baby you got me ten feet off the ground
i'm talking too much and
you don't make a sound
the prettiest face and
those rockabye baby browns
all i've waited for's come true
to be young and dumb and in love
with you you you you
she's not like any other girl
she's got me crying first
dying first waiting for the repo man
well under the weeping willows
and a sea firing flies
with your gypsy necklace
and my big brown bow tie
you kissed my lips like i was catching a flight
i said if i'm honest i fell for you that first night
if i'm honest i fell for you that first night
that first night oh oh oh
to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and in love
to be young and dumb and in love
with you you you
