Lyrics In Print: ABC

November 29, 2008

First off, please do me a favor and use the comments section of this website to comment about the post it is attached to, if you can. This is not a message board. If you want to talk about something else, go to the LPMB or LPUMB and start a thread there.

Now, on to the fun stuff. Although I'm including this one in "Lyrics In Print," it's just as enjoyable to listen to these lyrics in the actual song. My wrapup is at the bottom.

"The Look Of Love" by ABC


When your girl has left you out on the pavement (goodbye)

Then your dreams fall apart at the seams

Your reason for livings your reason for leaving

Dont ask me what it means

Thats the look, thats the look

The look of love

If you judge a book by the cover,

Then you'd judge the look by the lover

I hope youll soon recover,

Me I go from one extreme to another

And though my friends just might ask me

They say martin maybe one day youll find true love

I say maybe, there must be a solution

To the one thing, the one thing, we cant find

Thats the look, thats the look

The look of love

Thats the look, thats the look

The look of love

Thats the look, thats the look

Sisters and brothers

Should help each other

Oh, oh, oh

Heavens above

hip hip hooray-ay

yippee ai yippee ai yay

Thats the look, thats the look

Be lucky in love

Look of love


My favorite part? "If you judge a book by the cover, Then you'd judge the look by the lover"

What?

I think there's a logic problem in there somewhere, but I'm too confused by the rest of the lyrics to actually break it down. If you haven't heard this song, it's possible that "Heavens above / hip hip hooray-ay / yippee ai yippee ai yay" is a little less funny when taken out of context...but not likely.
