Vowl Sounds - Blood on the Tracks

lyrics

The first time that they met was a Saturday night
She was standing by the jukebox
Looking for some change
So he handed her a dollar, asked her for her name
And they slow-danced in the darkness
While the Temptations played

Count the ways I love you
One, two, three, four, five
They never got much past that
Other things on their minds

One kiss became a thousand
One night, a hundred more
It all seemed like perfection
Till he knelt down on the floor
Opened up the box
And opened up his mouth
But he couldn't get the question out
Before it all went south

"No, baby, don't you leave me,
Was all our love a lie?"
"I never promised you forever
But we had a few good times"

Broken-hearted, begging
"Please see me one last time
Meet me at our bar tonight
I just want to say goodbye"

Bullets spray the jukebox
One, two, three, four, five
The record goes on turning
Through the broken glass inside
Yeah, count the ways I love you
One, two, three, four, five
If I can't have forever
At least I'll hold you till we die
