Jive Songtext
von Michael Franks

After you hurt me, after I hurt you
And all of our bad dreams one by one came true
We said it was goodbye but the eyes never lie
And I knew that it was only jive

So you found a new lover to wear your crown
And I found a cheap flat up in Chinatown
I saw you with stoned stars in chic bars
Downtown Mars but I knew that it was only jive


You cut me loose, I hit the juice
Somebody deep inside me died
Who punched that tune, who hit the moon
Who made the dime store gypsy lie

You cut me loose, I hit the juice
Somebody deep inside me died
Who punched that tune, who hit the moon
Who made the dime store gypsy lie

You ain′t got no love Jones, not for me, not much
And how come the sparks fly every time we touch?
The meaning becomes clear every time you are near
But maybe it's only jive

Maybe it′s only jive
