Mess Around With Love

(album: The Abominable Showman - 1983)

Oh well, I have been away for the best part of a year
Every different city, still wishing I was here
But now I'm back, oh, how I've waited for the day
Now we're both together and that's how I want to stay

But there's something wrong
Have a been away too long?
Seem like your style has changed
Anyhow you're not the same

Can't we talk it over, before it gets too big
Let's both act like grownups
And not like a couple of kids
'Cause we both well know
That we can mess around with anything but love
Anything but love
We can mess around with anything but love

Love taken lightly can be a hazard to a health
It ain't something you can buy off a supermarket shelf
'Cause we both well know
That we can mess around with anything but love
Anything but love
We can mess around with anything but love

Whoa, but there's something wrong
Have a been away too long?
Seem like your style has changed
Anyhow you're not the same

Can't we talk it over, before it gets too big
Let's both act like grownups
And not like a couple of kids
'Cause we both well know
That we can mess around with anything but love
Anything but love
We can mess around with anything but love
Say hey, hey, hey,
With anything but love...
