She met him down at the laundromat
3 a.m.
on a washing machine they sent
and talked till dawn
he bought her breakfast at a small cafe morning
turned into the rest of the day
then the day was gone
he thought that she'd
surely run away no fairy tale ever
started this way but it ain't the man
that calls the shots around here
when stronger powers pull two bodies near
nothing on earth can interfere when love is what the heart wants
they made a wish on the evening star
from a rooftop high above the boulevard up in
the twilight sky he held her hand
she held her breath two lonely hearts
beating scared to death
of the chance to fly
given into the arms of fate
this isn't quite like the plans that they made but
it ain't the man that calls the shots around here
when stronger powers pull two bodies near
nothing on earth can interfere when love
is what the heart
wants it ain't the man that calls the shots around here
when stronger powers pull two bodies near
nothing on earth can interfere when love
is
what the heart wants
it ain't the man that calls the shots around here
when stronger powers pull two bodies near
nothing on earth can interfere when love is
what the heart wants
