when i was young i learned about love from an old photo album of my parents in black and white they painted at school in 1960 s california and then my mother was walking down the aisle and my father was saying his vows at my grandparents house on their wedding day let s fall in love like they did in the old days let s have love like they had in the old days let s fall in love oh please stop using me that way baby you know these aren t the games i want to play oh please stop using me that way baby you know these aren t the games i like to play when i met you you were my mother and i played father and i thought life was unfolding as it should we painted pictures and we were the pictures of my parents as they fell in love old movies of brando and tennessee williams should have warned me about love but i was blind blind when i was with you you should treat me this way i came for love but i learned bout something else girl don t treat me this way so much love i thought was for you yeah i thought it was for you but i guess it s for someone else when my words turned on me and you turned on me you walked out the door well darkness opened and i realized this life doesn t support love anymore because those were the old days there was love in the old days nowadays we have new ways and we don t hold onto love anymore
