A minute then, a minute now
I meant it then, I mean it now.
Can you make a wish upon?
The kind you make your wishes on
Could it be the baby?
Could it be that maybe?
For over 25 years, I would have sworn this line was "could it be the baby" (I never did see What's Love Got to Do with It, but I remember the video for this song featured a baby; maybe that's why I misheard the lyric?). It was only when the song randomly got stuck in my head today that I decided to google it, and that's when I saw the correct lyric.
Don't care now who's to play
Don't care now who's to blame
Don't care now who's to pray
Don't care now who's to blame
Don't care now who's to say
Don't care now who's to blame
He's a devil in disguise
There's a pale moon in the sky
I can't live this lie
I can't live this life
I don't really wanna fire no more
I don't really wanna fight no more
I don't really wanna fly no more
I don't really wanna fight no more
I don't really wanna fry no more
or
I don't really wanna cry no more
I don't really want to fight no more
I don't wanna really fart no more
I don't wanna really fight no more
I gotta hold in my head
I've got a hole in my head.
Mike Campbell, lead guitarist of the Heartbreakers, wrote and sings lead vocal in this song.
It's the devil in disguise
There's a pale moon in the sky
Like the fire in your eyes
or
Light the fire in your eyes
Like the light in your eyes
Sick of bein' the baby
Seems to me that baby
Something happened somewhere
And we both know why
Something happened somewhere
And we both know what
Tell RuPaul he's gay.
Tired of all these games.
There's a killer in disguise
There's a pale moon in the sky
There's a pebble in disguise.
There's a pale moon in the sky.
There's a pebble in the sky.
There's a pale moon in the sky.
There's people here tonight.
Let's sleep on it tonight.
Two bears talking, babe
Too much talking, babe
