I was 23 and living in the city   I met a long-legged blonde on friday night   It was a head on collision of passion   We made wild-eyed, loose-lipped love all night   On saturday we went out dancing   I could see she wanted to be free   She said, "darling, I'm sorry to leave you this way..."   I said, "how can you walk out on me? "      (chorus)   She said, "hey, hey, my, my, what's the story?    How can you say I broke your heart?    Someone as old as you should never look for the truth   In promises made in the dark."      Well, I went back to her apartment   I waited all night in my car   When she got there I said, "hey you can't take him to bed!"   She said, "who in the hell do you think you are? "      Chorus      When her boyfriend pulled out a revolver   I smiled and I said my farewells   Love can take you to the sun, love can take you to the moon   It's not worth getting you killed      Chorus
