lyrics

Smoking Marlboro Lights
Her brand of course
I need to break the ice
Before she goes
Through blood red lipstick blows
Smoke rings to my soul

And they say that love don’t last
But they just don’t understand
I need to make sure that I don’t ruin this chance

Before she leaves the bar alone you need to start believing
That she’s the only one, the only one so stop her leaving
Once she’s gone, she’s gone and then it’s open season
You just might kiss those lips before midnight

Courage comes at a price
Served neat, straight up
Or sometimes over ice
She sips her drink
And offers me a glance
This is True Romance

And they say that love don’t last
But they just don’t understand
I need to make sure that I don’t ruin this chance

Before she leaves the bar alone you need to start believing
That she’s the only one, the only one so stop her leaving
Once she’s gone, she’s gone and then it’s open season
You just might kiss those lips before midnight

Her five dollar shades reflecting light across the room
It’s getting late, no time to wait, you have to make your move soon
You say hi, you’re looking fine
She smiles and says “it’s about time”
This is True Romance
This is True Romance

Before she leaves the bar alone you need to start believing
That she’s the only one, the only one so stop her leaving
Once she’s gone, she’s gone and then it’s open season
You just might kiss those lips before midnight

You just might kiss those lips before midnight
You just might kiss those lips before midnight
You just might kiss those lips before midnight
