The sun goes down, the lights come up,
And the city changes gears.
The hustle takes on a rhythm
You can see and feel and hear.
Ooo -- and it's so romantic,
She even said it was herself.
Well, I hope she's not delirious,
Thinking I'm somebody else.
A blond beach boy with beautiful bones
Is one thing I'll never be!
I'm a true blue man, looking for my one chance
To rescue love from the jaws of modern romance.
She rolls her eyes and keeps pretending
She don't see
What her trembling chills have got to do
With her and me.
Oh, doctor, doctor, she says, doctor,
Don't let this be love!
I must be quite a shock compared
To what her dreams are of.
But still her fever lingers
And I have the remedy.
I'm a true blue man, looking for my one chance
To rescue love from the jaws of modern romance.
Cat and mouse --
Hider, seeker--
Beauty and the beast--
It's the classic tangled web,
A romantic masterpiece!
Well, the silver screen and the magazines
Build dream walls around her heart.
Although I go against her fashion sense,
She's letting down her guard.
Oh, baby, baby, pretty baby,
Let's go for a ride.
We can dance to the radio under the moon
With the car doors open wide.
I may step on your toes,
But I will never break your heart!
I'm a true blue man, looking for my one chance
To rescue love from the jaws of modern romance!
