You were a child of the fifties, sock hops, and soda-pop
Alice Cooper was my idol, seems we're a world apart
But love and friendship was no problem, we were in each others' hearts
Face to face, and down and dirty, right from the very start
Gut feelings shared between us, it seems weren't very smart
For man's a selfish creature, and now from me your love is lost
There ain't too many things that I'd call crucial in my life
But having you to turn to, made an odd thing seem alright
But there ain't no use denying, as time goes rolling by
I'm gonna get that urge, and when I do, I'll just spread my wings, and fly
So tell me what's the point, in being happy for a day?
Sweet woman you don't deserve it, I've already gone away
You need to find yourself a good man, who'd never leave you flat
I just ain't up to being, the one who can give you that
Yes, man's a selfish creature, and now from me, your love is lost
Your love is lost, your love is lost
Yes, man's a selfish creature, and now from me, your love is lost
