Chuck E’s In Love Lyrics
Rickie Lee Jones
How come he dont come and p.i.p. with me
Down at the meter no more?
How come he turn off the t.v.
And he hang that sign on the door?
We call and we call how come? we say
What could make a boy behave this way?
He learn all of the lines, and every time he
Dont suffer when he talk
And its true! its true! he sure is aquired a
Cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walk
Wheres his jacket and his old blue jeans?
If this aint healthy is it some kinda clean?
I think chuck es in love
I dont believe what youre saying to me
This is something I gotta see is he here?
Look in the poolhall is he here?
Look in the drugstore is he here?
No, he dont come here no more
Ill tell you what I saw him
He was sittin us down at the pantages
And whatever is that he got up his sleeve
I hope it isnt contagious
Whats her name? is that her there?
Christ, I think hes even combed his hair!
Is that her? whats her name?
Oh, its never going to be same.
But thats not her
I know whats wrong--
Chuck es in love with the little girl whos singing this song
Chuck es in love with me
