Fleeting Love - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I wake up and it’s half past four

My baby, she turns her face to the wall

I ain’t gonna cry, but it ain’t that funny no more

I pulled on a blanket made of stars

I wrap up my darling all nice and warm

I ain’t gonna lie, but I don’t want the truth no more

Everybody knows

Ain’t found this good since the Stone Age

When my undying love was just a phase

On her way to the club, I hear her say

She’d dance the night away

Everybody needs some fleeting love

I follow my baby up the hotel stairs

And I’m lying into the back of her legs

I ain’t gonna buy whatever it is they’re selling no more

I wake up later and it’s half past five

My baby she stretches, opens her eyes, she says

«I ain’t gonna lie, but I could get to like you, babe»

Everybody knows

Ain’t found this good since the Stone Age

When my undying love was just a phase

On her way to the club, I hear her say

She’d dance the night away

Everybody needs some fleeting love

Ain’t found this good since the Stone Age

When my undying love was just a phase

When she opened her eyes, I heard her cry

Saying, «Darling, don’t you sigh

'Cause everybody needs some fleeting love»
