Five For Fighting | Lyrics | Angels & Girlfriends

I met her down at a Pineapple Parking lot
She said, "I love you more", I said, "I love you not"
And all the while I stood in line at the paint shop

She said, "I'll take you where you'll never go again
I'll be your only love, you'll be my only friend
And for your time I'll let you dine at my office"

Angels never come for free
If you know what I know, you know what I mean
You can love 'em now, you can love 'em later

Girlfriends never fall for fun
They can tie you up make you come undone
You can learn to fly, but you can't create her

She led me down though a forest of wooden chairs
As she ate my lunch I looked out for bears
And in a sense you could say she snared my attention

She said, "I am your perfect finality"
And as I got her off she got off her knees
And for my grind I got honorable mention

Say, everybody needs one
Everybody's bound
Everybody swings upon the Mary-go-around

Girlfriends never fall for fun
They can tear you up make you come undone
You come undone

So now I'm stuck in this Pineapple Parking lot
I had what I was now I'm what I got
And if I may, may I lend you some kind of direction

Say, if you go you may never come back again
She's my only love, she my only friend
And for that there is no kind of protection

'Cause everybody needs one
Everybody's bound
Everybody swings and meanwhile Mary goes around

Angels never come for free
If you know what I know, you know what I mean
First you hate to love and then you love to hate her

Girlfriends never fall alone
Now you know what I know, you know what I've known
I'll see you now and I'll see you later

Yeah, I'll see you later
I think I can save her
I wish I could date her
