Oh no I hear you saying Here's another one from the heart And I won't bore you At least I won't try but I'm not really sure Quite where to start 'Cause these songs they have been like some movie And me I've been playing the lead And now you tell me it's over You tell me I need... I need a grownup love song... And is it one that pulls no punches Or is it one that tells the truth Or is it one that let's 'em all know 'Bout the dreams that will die with their youth 'Cause see me I've always been a dreamer So why can't we just let it be And you'd think I'd know better that I'm old enough to see... I need a grownup love song... A grownup love song And you need something to keep you smiling And you need something to make you cry And I'm just not talking 'bout a locker room love That won't have the good grace to die And the times that stand out in my memory Are the times that I just let love lead And I can't help believing the last thing... I need is a grownup love song A grownup love song I don't need no grownup love song That's not what I need... I don't need no grownup love song That's not what I need... I don't need no, I don't need no Grownup love song
GROWNUP LOVE SONG (M.Stanley / B. Pelander) Another new one that actually goes back quite a while. Every so often I'd find the demo and think that it was a song that should get heard, so here it is. And the older I get, the more I know the lyric is true.
