I watched her pack up her mink coat
pink stilettos and rosary
She turned and said she was going chasing old monks
and other scenes
The Sun was setting as fast as my slow drag
as I watched her leave
I always knew one day the spotlight long
bus ride find dead-end streets

But when it came to love
I thought we had enough
Then again, what do I know?
I'm just another boy in another band
You're just another girl I put in a song

I turned and cut off the porch light
Dried my blue eyes and I walked up the stairs
I found her bottle of brandy, nose candy everywhere
Sat down and stared at a snapshot of Boston
hanging by the books
I thought man she'd paint some pretty picture
but damn those colors sure do rough

But when it came to love
I thought we had enough
Then again, what do I know?
I'm just another boy in another band
You're just another girl I put in a song

She always said she believed in
Her Jesus, Rock and Roll
I can see her now blaring Joan Jett
With a cross around her neck on an open road

But when it came to love
I thought we had enough
Then again, what do I know?
I'm just another boy in another band
You're just another girl I put in a song

When it came to love
When it came to love
When it came to love
I thought we had enough
