Lyrics

VERSE
Sometimes you want the love to work very much
Even when you don’t think it will
They were hard hangin’ on to that lovin’ touch
But the love was sliding downhill

PRE-CHORUS
So what, pray tell, was the result?

CHORUS
(Yes) The love got buried in the backyard
With a bag of lime
Sounds something like a crime
But it wasn’t; the love died of natural causes

SOLO/VERSE
It was not one thing more than another
They both knew all the downsides
Learned you can’t judge a book by its cover
Just too much stuff neither could abide

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
You know, the lime covered up the whole thing
And they, well, they just moved on…

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Sometimes it’s good to be holding on to a bag of lime
