You know it's alright  Just to take me home  To your serious house, with your serious tones  You're a serious man, with a serious smile  But the summer is hot and I might surprise you    In a very short while we'll have left them behind  With their faces quite pained  As they try to remind themselves  Oh, it's really so wrong  It's really so out  And it's really not cool to take a young girl about    And I know the young man with a century's face  A philosopher king - he will try to amaze  With examples of love and examples of hate  And to see them explode  We will just have to    It's a simple love story  It grows better all the time  You can tell me all about it  But first I'll tell you about mine    You know it's alright to be trustful, have tact  But the problem's complex  When you keep holding back  We could talk for an hour  We could talk for a day  But the people we know would still have their say    Talk of such virtuous women  Talk of such noble men  But if I'm on the level I have met none of them  Oh, I've met troubled people with deep and dark thoughts  Who have hallowed my name  And sworn I will get caught  But why waste real feeling and  Why waste our time  To let the earth bow to no virtue of    It's a simple love story  It grows better all the time  You can tell me all about it  But first I'll tell you about mine    You know it's alright to just make mistakes  But to tail in with hurt - is the gravest make  We all create lives which we don't understand  But to point the accused is a job for no man  And we curse our own longing - and curse our own ways  I won't be satisfied with my soul that's    It's a simple love story  It grows better all the time  You can tell me all about it  Now I've told you about mine
