Snider | |
Met on a train goin’ somewhere fast | |
He could see what she had right on | |
Together they build up an empire so vast | |
That no one and nothin’ could stop them. | |
He looked like a man of the people | |
She looked high as hell at the ball | |
Of course they made everybody so jealous | |
But no one could touch ‘em et all, it was true, love. | |
What while the rabbles was restin’ | |
They conquered the world and beyond | |
With each new insatiable ambition | |
They tested and strengthened their bond. | |
He wasn’t nearly as driven | |
She wasn’t nearly as fun | |
But together they was quite a combination | |
When it come down to gettin’ it done, it was true love, true love. | |
They amassed unspeakable fortunes and she still wasn’t satisfied | |
So he fell out to find what she wanted in her mind, what a hell of a ride | |
Bought private jet planes and castles | |
Took every pleasure that they could | |
Well, good love comes with its troubles | |
Where things, things wouldn’t always be good, it was true love. | |
There was a few times that she cheated | |
There was even some times when they split | |
But she upped and went and he got arrested | |
And she put up with it, it was drugs ……… | |
Cause what mattered was keepin’ that feeling | |
What mattered was stayin’ on top | |
Some say what’s keepin’ them together so long | |
Is feelin’ they’ve already thought they could drop, it’s true love, true, true love. | |
These days he’s callin’ her Brenda, that wasn’t always her name | |
That opened them to so many changes as they weathered the pressures of change | |
Not long ago she almost lost him, lesser man might’ve been dead | |
But just when she thought he might be giving up, he was back up in business instead, it was true love. | |
Tonight I’m sure he’s in some tavern, smokin’, he’s drinkin’ it in | |
And I’m sure she’s holed up in that office, cruchin’ the numbers again | |
He’s livin’ it up while she’s workin’, I guess that’s just about right | |
Mick Jagger was born on a Monday morning, Keith Richards was born on a Saturday night | |
It was true | |
It was true, it was true, it was true love | |
It was true, it was true love. |
