modern old-fashioned love song
i never told anyone, not even you that just as you climbed out of my car last night the rolling stones started singing, goodbye, ruby tuesday who could hang a name on you? and i knew right then that you were walking out my life. i also knew right away that you’d be back and that it wouldn’t be the same. you changed everything with that kiss. and when you hugged me goodbye you told me everything without saying it. i had to explain it to my ex; you had to explain it to your girlfriend. and there were no explanations except that nothing will be the same and that although it was so lusty, it was not filled with love and for that reason everyone should be able to put it behind them and not worry about it anymore. you’ll always be my beautiful brian i might say someday but i probably won’t because you’ll probably know anyway. and i don’t want to date you. i did tell you that, and i meant it. never before have i meant it when i’ve told you that. but our love for each other has changed and i think we’ve made the best of it. the rolling stones summed it all up that night as you walked away. i felt like smoking a cigarette; i felt so old right then. she’ll tell you ‘its the only way to be’.
