LYRICS
You’ve painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
RUBY, DON’T TAKE YOUR LOVE TO TOWN
Wake up in the morning with a head like ‘What ya done?’
This used to be the life but I don’t need another one
I DON’T FEEL LIKE DANCIN’ LYRICS
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin’s College, that’s where I caught her eye.
COMMON PEOPLE
Oh, her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they’re not shinin’
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
I’ve made up my mind, don’t need to think it over
If I’m wrong I am right, don’t need to look no further
This ain’t lust, I know this is love
