I just wanna love you, I just wanna try
I ain't always the subject of a thousand prying eyes
I worry about the gossip, do you think that will be fine?
There ain't no way to stop it, so I won't change my mind
I would run away with ya any day if we could
But I don't think that running anywhere would do us any good
We just keep on making the same old news
People talk about us, but wha-what they do without us?
Is the same old news
I just wanna love you, but it's causing so much trouble
I guess it's the same old, same old news
I just wanna love you in some old-fashioned way
Instead, we're picked apart for everything we say
I would change my name for ya (what would ya change it?)
To anything for what it's worth (hmm-mm)
Oh, but I hope that they find us anyway at the corners of the Earth
We just keep on making the same old news
I'm feeling overtired from being so hardwired
It's the same old news
Causing such a fuss that they want to lock us up
Well ain't it a shame the way they exclaim?
That being in love is something they want us to explain
But I guess it's the same old, same old news
♪
Ah, let's move to an island a million miles from shore
At least until they build a tower where there wasn't one before (hmm-mm)
We just keep on making the same old news
Oh, oh, people talk about us, but wha-what they do without us?
Is the same old news
I just wanna love you, but it's causing so much trouble
It's the same old news
Every time we kiss, I can hear them stop to whisper
They know all of our secrets (yes they do)
And they know where we've been (ah-ah)
They're inside our head and underneath our skin, yeah
Oh, haven't you heard? It's so absurd (oh, oh, I)
I think it's a waste, but it's still a basic human urge
To keep spreading the same old, same old
Same old, same old
Same old, same old news
