Aimless Love

You may live alone and close your eyes
Some folks do
You may dream a dream that's twice your size
All night through
When the morning comes who's to tell your dreams to
Only you

Chorus:
Only love, love only, only love
Will do
Only love, love only, only love
Comes true
Nothing else, you see, there nothing else
Only love, only love

I have known a love within my heart
One or two
Where one love would end and one would start
I never knew
If love should come your way you'll learn to say
I love you i love you

Repeat chorus twice

Maureen, maureen,
I shot a doctor last night on the airplane
Well, they said he wouldn't hurt us
But he got me real nervous and mean
He was fat and he stank
And god knows that he drank more than we do
So i shot him in the first class
Then i bailed out and ran home to you

Chorus:
But you don't believe me
I could tell by your smile
Honey, why don't you leave me
Get lost for awhile, maureen.

Maureen, maureen,
There's a hole in between where we come from
And the things that i'm thinking
Ain't necessary the things that i say
I may have lied to myself
But i tried to tell god how i love you
But even he don't answer
His phone anymore when i pray

Maureen, maureen,
I shot a doctor last night on the airplane
Well, they said he wouldn't hurt us
But he got me real nervous and mean
Real nervous and mean

Here's the story of a man and his family
And a big trip that they took
Well, i heard all about in a restaurant
And i read it in a history book
They rented a car at the erie canal
But the car didn't have no brake
Said ma to pa "my god this car"
"is gonna fall into the bottomless lake"

Well, mama turned to daddy with a pale face
Said "i've done something horribly wrong"
"well, the waters still runnin' in the bathtub"
And i think i left the kitchen light on"
Then i heard a crash the car when splash
And the compass rolled around and around
Oh, for heaven's sake! we fell in a lake
And i think we're all gonna drown

Chorus:
We are falling down
Down to the bottom of a hole in the ground
Smoke 'em if you got 'em
I'm so scared i can hardly breathe
I may never see my sweatheart again
Play once after first verse

There was plenty of food in the backseat
And the windows were rolled up tight
So we all nibbled on a chicken leg
Told stories 'way thru' the night
Well, pa told one that he told before
And the baby got a bellyache
Said ma to pa "my god this car"
"falling down a bottomless lake"

Repeat chorus:

Poppa played the music on the radio
Mama rocked the baby to sleep
He said he would've taken the other road
But he didn't think the lake was that deep
Well, if the ferry been there at the end of the pier
We'd be half way to uncle jake's
Instead of looking at fish out the window i wish
We'd hit the bottom of the bottomless lake
'stead of looking at fish out the window i wish
We'd hit the bottom of the bottomless lake

So if you're ever goin' on a big trip
Ya better be careful out there
Start everything on you good foot
And wear clean underwear
Take along a bible in the backseat
Read of david and solomon
For if you make a mistake in the bottomless lake
You may never see your sweetheart again
If you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake
You may never see your sweetheart again
If you should make a mistake in the bottomless lake
You may never see your sweetheart again

Well, i got time on my hands and i got you on my mind
And the moon and the stars up above
There's a warm summer breeze
Blowing down through the trees
And somewhere someone's falling in love
Well, if this world where we live is the only one we have
Then there's only one thing i'm thinking of
Let's go for that ride - keep our eyes open wide
Cause somewhere someone's falling in love

Chorus:
You may be looking for someone
Someone may be looking for you
Someday you'll awaken and open your eyes
And love will be looking at you

So don't get down on yourself.
No and don't lose your faith
Believe these words that i'm singing of
For as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling in love

Repeat chorus:

So don't get down on yourself.
No, and don't lose your faith
Believe these words that i'm singing of
For as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling in love
Yeah, for as sure as the day that you were born
Somewhere someone's falling
Somewhere someone's falling
Somewhere someone's falling in love

He's just a small fry. a bit too gun shy.
To have his heart touched without a glove
He looks at strangers as potential dangers
Trying to steal his aimless love.

Love has no mind. it can't spell unkind.
It's never seen a heart shaped like a valentine
For if love knew him. it'd walk up to him
And introduce him to an aimless love

I been out walking. kinda pillow talking
To anyone that has the time for me
For there are some folks they think that love chokes.
It ties and keeps them from being free

Love has no mind. it can't spell unkind
It's never seen a heart shaped like a valentine
For if love knew you. it'd walk up to you
And introduce you to an aimless love

Do you look at strangers as potential dangers
Trying to steal your aimless love.

Love has no mind. it can't spell unkind
It's never seen a heart shaped like a valentine
For if love knew you. it'd walk up to you
And introduce you to an aimless love
And introduce you to an aimless love

People who are sad - sometimes they wear a frown
And people who are kings - sometimes they wear a crown
But all the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

People without love - sometimes build a fence around
The garden up above - that makes the whole world go 'round
But all the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

So cold, sometimes it gets so cold

You may love your wife - you may lose your family
You may lose you mind - just to keep your sanity
But the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

People that are glad - sometimes they wear a smile
And people without dreams they walk the extra mile
But all the people who don't fit
Get the only fun they get
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people dwn
From people puttin' people down
People puttin' people down

So cold, sometimes it gets so cold
