O
There were tears in her eyes when she gave me the news last night
I tried to disguise all the hurt that I felt inside
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - this was the end
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more
We stood by the door and she put her hand in mine
Could have fell through the floor when we said our last goodbye
I just stood and watched her walk away
The love of my life is leaving today
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in wit
I tried to disguise all the hurt that I felt inside
She said she'd always like to be my friend
Ooh, what could I say - this was the end
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in with Rico and she don't need me no more
We stood by the door and she put her hand in mine
Could have fell through the floor when we said our last goodbye
I just stood and watched her walk away
The love of my life is leaving today
She's moving in with Rico, everybody's hero
She's moving in wit
Red
I saw you looking for a light,
Face painted cigarette white.
You asked the cleanest boy you found;
You couldn't see me turned around.
His fingers stretched across your empty gaze,
But I just can't escape.
Chorus:
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress,
A picture of the people you've impressed,
Hangs on a wall around here;
Vision starts to crawl when I'm near.
And the evening waits,
While you get caught up to your own mistakes,
Made up of different lines,
I wouldn't want to keep in my mind.
I wondered why you'd come around,
Remembering your little girl frown.
Your answers kept the crowd at bay,
With compliments unwilling to pay.
I have some things I'd like to say to you,
But they just can't be true.
