A true love story is hard to find
Can't get no rest, got no peace of mind
You say, you gave your heart to me
You put me down you set me free

Everybody said, you was deadly
I guess you know he is because, deadly
Comes in every shape and size, deadly
Always takes you by surprise
You said, you was the only one

Leave me safe at home all alone
Waitin' on your call by the telephone
