Steve Mardon - Short-Term Romance lyrics
Your rating:
Maybe you meet her at an airport, maybe you meet her at a bar Maybe you meet her at a red light, when she bumps into your car When she gives you her phone number, and says, “Why don't you call me soon?†You're just a month or two away from an old familiar tune: Short-term romance, long-term pain A brand new melody with a tired old refrain Short-term romance, long-term pain What heats up like a fever, can all go up in flames You thought you made the right connection, she'd never do you any harm By the way she touched your fingers, when you woke up in her arms Ah, but looks can be deceiving, if your timing is all wrong 'Cause if you catch her on the rebound, you'll sing an old familiar song: Short-term romance, long-term pain A brand new melody with a tired old refrain Short-term romance, long-term pain First you're walking on a railroad, then you're flattened by a train When she tells you that it's over, it's the usual cliches “I've given everything I have to give, it's best we go our separate ways†Feel like you're in a movie, and as the camera fades to black The credits start to rolling, guess what you hear on the soundtrack: Short-term romance, long-term pain A brand new melody with a tired old refrain Short-term romance, long-term pain At least you got a little love in, before it all went down the drain Romance … pain … melody … with a tired old refrain God I hate this melody, such a tired old refrain
