I just want to love you I just want to try I know we're the subject Of a thousand prying eyes I worry about the gossip Do you think that we'll be fine? There ain't no way to stop it So I won't change my mind I would run away with you Any day If we could But I don't think that running anywhere Would do us any good We just keep on making The same old news People talk about us But what would they do without us It's the same old news I just want to love you But it's causing so much trouble I guess it's the same old, same old news I just want to love you In some old fashion way Instead we're picked apart For everything we say I would change my name for you (What would you change it?) To anything For what it's worth But I know that they'd find us anyway At the corners of the earth We just keep on making The same old news I'm feeling overtired From being so hard wired It's the same old news Causing such a fuss That they want to lock us up Well ain't it a shame The way they exclaim Like being in love Is something they want us to explain But I guess it's the same old, same old news Let's move onto an island A million miles from shore At least until (they build a tower) Where there wasn't one before We just keep on making The same old news People talk about us But what would they do without us It's the same old news I just want to love you But it's causing so much trouble It's the same old news Every time we kiss I can hear them start to whisper: They know all our secrets (Yes, they do) And they know where we've been They're inside our head And underneath our skin, yeah Oh, haven't you heard? It's so absurd Well, I think it's a waste But it's still a basic human urge To keep spreading the same old, same old Same old, same old Same old, same old news
