YOU'RE GONNA CHASE LOVE AWAY (Max's Kansas City)

Max's Kansas City - so many years ago
You always lost the umbrella - It didn't rain but it sure did snow
Catch a glimpse of Andy Warhol - walking his dogs downtown
When he talked everybody listened - Though he rarely made a sound

As for me I never stopped talking - That's all I knew how to do
And when it hit - I never saw it coming - And for the first time I looked straight at you

You're gonna chase love away - You're gonna be by yourself
You'll be looking for your lover - But he'll be with somebody else

The Seventies - so such a strange time - No one knew what to do
With the children of the sixties - It didn't' matter what we've been through
So come on we'll build our own world - Shut the door so tight
Now everything is in color baby - But we always preferred black and white
Of course there were other reasons - Its so complicated now
I watched you put on your makeup for hours and hours - We hardly every left the house

You're gonna chase love away - You're gonna be by yourself
You'll be looking for your lover - But he'll be with somebody else
And you'll be wondering why - And you'll be asking all your friends
But their advice and good suggestions - Your obsession just won't end

I thank God I'm not the man I use to be
'Cause looking in the mirror can make you blind you see
We were trapped in our own fantasy
It hurts to let go - Until you're finally free

You're gonna chase love away - You're gonna be by yourself
You'll be looking for your lover - But he'll be with somebody else
And you'll be wondering why - And you'll be asking all your friends
But their advice and good suggestions - Your obsession just won't end
And you'll be cursing the sky - Can't take your eyes off the ground
You'll be looking for excuses - When there's no blame to be found

You're gonna chase love away - You're gonna chase love away
You're gonna chase love away - You're gonna chase love away
