Lyrics for singles by J. Geils Band
Centerfold
Just Can't Wait
Come Back
Love Stinks
I Do
Does she walk? Does she talk? Does she come complete?
My homeroom homeroom angel always pulled me from my seat
She was pure like snowflakes; no one could ever stain
The memory of my angel could never cause me pain
The years go by, I'm lookin' through a girly magazine
And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in-between
My blood runs cold
My memory has just been sold
My angel is the centerfold
Angel is the centerfold
Slipped me notes under the desk while I was thinkin' about her dress
I was shy; I turned away before she caught my eye
I was shakin' in my shoes whenever she flashed those baby-blues
Something had a hold on me when angel passed close by
Those soft and fuzzy sweaters --- too magical to touch
To see her in that negligee is really just too much
[chorus]
It's okay I understand
This ain't no never-never land
I hope that when this issue's gone
I'll see you when your clothes are on
Take your car, yes we will
We'll take your car and drive it
We'll take it to a motel room
And take 'em off in private
A part of me has just been ripped
The pages from my mind are stripped
Oh no, I can't deny it
Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it!
Your daddy's tellin' you I just ain't no good
And everything I try to do is just misunderstood
But I don't care if your daddy says it's wrong
I just can't stand to be away from you too long
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
The clock up on my wall, it must be runnin' slow
Tonight when you're here next to me, I'll never let you go
I wish the day would hurry up and set us free
Because tonight with you is where I want to be
Ooh, girl, holdin' me so tight
Ooh, girl, I can't wait 'til tonight
But I don't care if your daddy says it's wrong
I just cant stand to be away from you too long
No, no, my baby
I just can't wait
No, no, no
I just can't wait
No, no, my baby
I just can't wait
No, no, no
When you left me all alone
You left me cryin' on my own
Tell me, tell me, what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby
Cause I'm still in love with you
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Here I'm standin' such a fool
It's not like you babe
Oh, don't be cruel
Help me, help me
Cause you know I'm not that strong
Help me, help me darlin'
I've been lonely for too long
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back
(Instrumental break)
Tell me, tell me, what you gonna do
Tell me pretty baby
Cause I'm still in love with you
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
Come back (baby)
Come back-please come back to me darlin'-aah
Come back (baby)
Come back-won't you come back to me
You love her
But she loves him
And he loves somebody else
You just can't win
And so it goes
Till the day you die
This thing they call love
It's gonna make you cry
I've had the blues
The reds and the pinks
One thing for sure
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
Two by two and side by side
Love's gonna find you yes it is
You just can't hide
You'll hear it call
Your heart will fall
Then love will fly
It's gonna soar
I don't care for any casanova thing
All I can say is
Love stinks
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
(Love stinks)
Love stinks yeah yeah
I've been through diamonds
I've been through minks
I've been through it all
