Mat Kearney

Young Dumb and In Love

Well it was me and Burkam running circles round the joint

Trying to jump on the circus trying to get across our point

Yeah, we were young and dumb and looking for a fight

Burning both ends of the candle at both ends of the night

She was walking gracefully like she stepped out of a cocoon

Down through Manhattan Boulevard and First Avenue

With her black frame glasses and her Daisy perfume

I said, "Have we met before?" She said, "No, it's only noon."

Uh oh... to be young and dumb and in love

To be young and dumb and in love

Baby, you got me ten feet off the ground

I'm talking too much, and you don't make a sound

The prettiest face and those rock-a-bye baby browns

All I've waited for's come true

To be young and dumb and in love

With you, you, you, you

Well, we sat in the park grass so scared of the past

Tolling round like blankets, oh, this won't last

Dancing to five spot records with smoke in the air

You could smell it the morning, you could smell it in her hair

Found myself on my knees a little more each night

Is this what I've waited for for all of my life

Put your hand with a feather tattoo on your wrist

On this skinny little white boys fat hustling hips

Uh oh to be young and dumb and in love

To be young and dumb and love

Baby, you got me ten feet off the ground

I'm talking too much and you don't make a sound

The prettiest face and those rock-a-bye baby browns

All I've waited for's come true

To be young and dumb and in love

With you, you, you, you

She's not like any other girl

She's got me crying first, dying first, waiting for the repo man

Well, under the weeping willows and a sea firing flies

With your gypsy necklace and my big brown bow tie

You kissed my lips like I was catching a flight

I said if I'm honest I fell for you that first night

If I'm honest I fell for you that first night

That first night, oh, oh, oh

To be young and dumb and in love

To be young and dumb and in love

To be young and dumb and in love

To be young and dumb and in love

With you, you, you
