The Brandos - The Only Love I Can Get lyrics

He's there up on the stage

Howlin' at the moon

His heart and soul

Are on the line for you

You know it ain't for glory

You know it ain't for greed, no

It's a deeper, desperate need

To be what he's got to be

And sometimes it's so hard

Sometimes he goes too far

And sometimes he gets so low

And if you ask him why, he'll tell you

It's the only love that I can get

The only love that I can get

Well, it may be wrong, and it won't last long

But it's the only love that I can get

She's there out on the ledge

Sayin' I'm gonna take the leap

You'd better talk me down

Or I'll end up a lifeless heap

With her freinds and family beggin'

You've got so much to live for

With the lights and cameras trained on her

She gets what she wished for

And sometimes it's so hard

Sometimes she goes too far

And sometimes she gets so low

And when they asked her why, she'll tell you

And sometimes it's so hard

Sometimes he goes too far

And sometimes he gets so low

And if you ask him why, he'll tell you

It's the only love that I can get

The only love that I can get

Well, it may be wrong and it won't last long

But it's the only love that I can get
