Love tracks, setbacksAll can come back
Pick up on the factTake it in strideLove and devotionDon't confideIt's the tracks of lost emotionLet it glideIt's gonna subsideShe stole my heartLoved her from the start
Whatcha gonna doWhen I think I'm in loveAnd I catch my girl doin' me wrongToo badIt's just enoughTo slip back in the startLike when you get your first ticketFor illegal parking
But don't you knowIt's no big dealTake it slowShe's not for realLet it goFine you knowUntil she stole my heartShe stole his heart
But it's just a misdemeanorYou gotta get-a over itOh, he loved her from the start
Love tracks, setbacksAll can come back
Pick up on the factTake it in strideLove and devotionDon't confideIt's the tracks of lost emotionLet it glideIt's gonna subsideShe stole my heartOh, she stole his heart
But it's just a misdemeanorYou gotta get-a over itOh, he loved her from the start
Whatcha gonna doWhen I get to the goalAnd my friends aren't tellin' meWhen I'm playin' the fool
Oh, he loved her from the startYou gotta get over itLove tracks, set backsAll can come backOh, she stole his heart
