Over  that new paved highway, there  is a house where love was made.
Not  with screaming and touching, but  with the records quietly spinning.
 And it was Aretha’s  gold. And it was the way  you told me to just  shut up and
 try and enjoy myself.
 
But that I can never do, so now it’s ---?---blue, Oh it dreams and dreams
 and dreams and dreams of you.
So  if you  can’t treat  her like a woman  then treat  her like  a baby doll.
 Oh, and just leave  her in  that bedroom  where he  watched the summer
 tumble and fall.
 (guitar technically isn’t playing, just drums and effects)
Over  the gardens, through the schools, she  waits alone by a swimming pool.
A  storm is brewin’ in her soul.  When did it start I like
  to think… I know.
 Well it was the summer  night, a (?sweet as night  just died?) She turned the
corner  and I knew all was about to change.
 And then I kissed  your mouth. I felt your past  somehow. Oh and your  whole
 life flashed before my eyes.
So  if you  want to treat  her like a woman  then pick  her up  like a baby doll.
 And rock her gently  and tell  her that you’re sorry  and then  be
willing  to let her go.
 Because you  you’re as tameless as an ocean.  I want to love you but
commotion,  oh it ravages me whole.
 Oh and me  I’m as dramatic as the thunder.  My lightning scares as she rolls
over.  Oh yes she needs to get some sleep.
 Oh and you,  you’ll be as famous as an ocean.  They’ll try to name you but
commotion,  oh, it’ll ravage them whole.
 But me  I’m as dramatic as the thunder.  My lightning scares as she rolls
over,  oh yes she needs to get some sleep.
