Cherry Poppin' Daddies Lyrics
"Lovers Understand"

He loses himself in the boxscores She can't decide
what to wear And she'll carry out her affair She dreams
frequent and vividly There will be no realization today
She describes them to him every mornin' He has no dreams
at all They have no children to speak of As he complains
about the mileage of his car And don't own their colonial
home The color tv lulls one of them to sleep While
the other changes stations alone Hand in hand i lost
her hand and cried the tears Lovers understand So they
strolled hand in hand in the square They could not
afford a real honeymoon She does the same with the
guy at the office He likes the color of her hair He's
quiet and tired a lot lately He sets goals and doesn't
follow through He stares at her picture on the fireplace
And whispers a prayer to the room "we just did
what we had to do "there are no mistakes,
" he says, shrugging off,
At least not like i did in my youth Lovers understand."
I don't think that i could get angry again Hand in
hand i lost her hand and cried the tears Sur le quai
son mouchoir (on the platform,
her hankerchief) Sous le jour qui s'allonge
(in the day that stretches) S'enfuit deja
(already disappears) S'estompe a l'horizon (fades at the horizon)
