Fleeting Love Songtext
von Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

I wake up and it′s half past four
My baby, she turns her face to the wall
I ain't gonna cry
But it ain′t that funny no more

I pulled on a blanket made of stars
I wrap up my darling, all nice and warm
I ain't gonna lie
But I don't want the truth no more

Everybody knows
Ain′t found this good since the Stone Age
When my undying love
Was just a phase

On her way to the club
I hear her say
She′d dance the night away
Everybody needs some fleeting love


I follow my baby up the hotel stairs
And I'm lying into the back of her legs
I ain′t gonna buy
Whatever it is they're selling, no more

I wake up later and it′s half past five
My baby, she stretches, opens her eyes
She says, "I ain't gonna lie
But I could get to like you, babe"

Everybody knows
Ain′t found this good since the Stone Age
When my undying love
Was just a phase

On her way back to the club
I heard her say
As we dance the night away
Everybody needs some fleeting love

Ain't found this good since the Stone Age
When my undying love
Was just a phase

When she opened her eyes
I heard her cry
Saying, "Darling, don't you sigh
′Cause everybody needs some fleeting love"
