Romantic
little Jimmy Watkins wasn't ready
when the winter came
he forgot to order coats so he shivers
just himself to blame
and the marketwives covered with blankets
I hear them shout in vain
they try to sell their southern fruits
in the icy rain
slowly comes the wintertime
snowflakes melting on the enginehood
and all the young girls put on their scarfs
before they haunt their neighbourhood
so sorry that I'm romantic
so sorry that I'm romantic
hot grey steam out of the drains
I can't see the traffic lights
and the smell of cookies and candles
icecold stary skies
snowballs fly around my head
and Linda's laughing bright
the saucy little skater falls on his nose
and cries soon he's outta sight
slowly comes the wintertime
snowflakes melting on the enginehood
and all the young girls put on their scarfs
before they haunt their neighbourhood
so sorry that I'm romantic...

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
When you left me all alone at the record hop
Told me you were goin’ out for a soda pop
You were gone for quite a while, half an hour or more
You came back and man oh man this is what I saw
Lipstick on you collar, told a tale on you
Lipstick on you collar, said you were untrue
Bet your bottom dollar, you and I are through
Cause, lipstick on you collar told a tale on you, yeah
You said it belonged to me, made me stop and think
Then I noticed yours was red, mine
