Fleeting Love

I wake up and it's half past four My baby she turns her face to the wall I ain't gonna cry, but it ain't that funny no more

I pulled on a blanket and made her stars I wrap up my darling all nice and warm I ain't gonna lie, but I don't want the truth no more

Everybody knows, Ain't found this good since the Stone Age When my undying love was just a (?) On her way to the club, I hear her say "She'd dance the night away, Everybody needs some fleeting love"

I follow my baby up the hotel stairs And I'm lying into the back of her legs I ain't gonna buy whatever it is they're selling no more

I wake up later and it's half past five My baby she stretches, opens her eyes, she says I ain't gonna lie, but I could get to like you babe

Everybody knows, Ain't found this good since the Stone Age When my undying love was just a (?) On her way to the club, I heard her say As we danced the night away "Everybody needs some fleeting love"

Ain't found this good since the Stone Age When my undying love was just a (?) When she opened her eyes, I heard her cry Saying, "Darling, don't you sigh 'Cause everybody needs some fleeting love"
