Rickie Lee Jones - We Belong Together Lyrics
I say this was no game of chickenYou were aiming your best friendThat you wear like a switchblade on a chain around your neckI think you picked this up in mexico from your dadNow its daddy on the boozeAnd brando on the iceNow its dean in the doorwayWith one more way he cant play this scene twiceSo you drug her down every drag of this forbidden fit of loveAnd you told her to stand tall whet you kissed herBut thats not where you were thinking...How could a natalie wood not get sucked into a scene so custom tucked?How now look who shows upIn the same placeIn this caseI think its betterTo face it ---We belong togetherWe belong togetherOnce johnny the king made a spit ringAnd all the skid kids saw a very, very proud manAnd he entwine her in his fingerAnd she lay there like a baby in his handAnd climb upon the rooftop docks lookin out on the crosstown seasAnd he wraps his jacket across her shouldersAnd he falls and hugs and holds her on his kneesBut a sailor just takes a broad down to the dark end of the fairTo turn her into a tattooThat will whisperInto the back of johnnys black hairAnd now johnny the king walks these streets without her in the rainLookin for a leather jacketAnd a girl who wrote her name foreverA promise that ---We belong togetherWe belong togetherShall we weigh along these streetsYoung lions on the lam?Are the signs you hid deep in your heartAll left on neon for them?Who are foolishWho are victimOf the sailors and the ducky boys who wouldMove into your eyes and lips andEvery tearThat falls down on the neighborhood nowI said bird, we just gotta tell themAnd they turn and ignore usAnd the only heroes we got leftAre written right before usAnd the only angel who sees us nowWatches through each others eyesAnd I can hear himIn every footsteps passing sighHe goes crazy these nightsWatching heartbeats go by...And they wisper ---We belong togetherWe belong together
