lyrics

By the time he said hello, it was time to say goodbye
 To the cloud of dust he raised as he went cruising by 
And though she thought that there was something  
Special in his eyes 
She wasn’t that surprised 
Or even perplexed,  
When it was just about sex.

She is searching in her mind for a memory of his face
But he’s a trip without baggage, he didn’t leave a trace
And though she thought that there was something
A little bit magic, Romantic even tragic,
It wasn’t that complex,
It was just about sex,

 Was that a dream, was that a fling 
Did she really hear that night bird sing 
Did she see stars, was she flying blind  
Dizzy as a moth in the lantern shine
 Now that her feet are back on the ground
 She’s wide awake and he’s not around  

She’ll get up tomorrow and get back to the grind  
With a little disappointment, cause magic’s hard to find 
Sometimes imagination makes you a little bit blind 
A little out of your mind 
You forget the context  it was just about sex.
