lyrics

DON'T TALK ABOUT JOAN

Don't talk about Joan
Don't talk
Don't talk about her
I'm in love with her

Don't talk about Joan
Don't talk
Don't talk about her
I'm in love with her

She walks
into a room
She doesn't know me
but I don't care
Love is not always easy
& love is not always kind
But if I get away with this
it'll be a perfect crime

CHORUS

She drives
this old convertible
the sun is warm
in her hair
I look outside my window
& she is at a stoplight
drinking a beer
she doesn't know I'm here

CHORUS

I saw her
yesterday
she was standing alone
in a crowd
Her sunglasses on
her hair pulled back
& she was crying
I was no help at all
