  • Breakin' my back just to know your name
    Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
    A breakin' my back just to know your name
    But Heaven ain't close in a place like this
    Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss
    'Cause Heaven ain't close in a place like this
    I said Heaven ain't close in a place like this
    Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (hoo hoo)
    Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

    Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
    Who looked like a girlfriend
    That I had in February of last year
    It's not confidential, I've got potential

    Ready let's roll onto something new
    Takin' it's toll then I'm leaving without you
    'Cause Heaven ain't close in a place like this
    I said Heaven ain't close in a place like this
    Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (hoo hoo)
    Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight

    Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
    Who looked like a girlfriend
    That I had in February of last year
    It's not confidential, I've got potential

    A rushing, rushing around

    Pace yourself for me (for me)
    I said maybe, baby, please (please)
    But I just don't know now (baby, baby)
    When all I want to do is try

    Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
    Who looked like a girlfriend
    That I had in February of last year
    It's not confidential, I've got potential

    A rushing, rushing around

    Now somebody told me you had a boyfriend
    Who looked like a girlfriend
    That I had in February of last year
    It's not confidential, I've got potential

    A rushing, rushing around

    Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
    Who looked like a girlfriend
    That I had in February of last year
    It's not confidential, I've got potential

    A rushing, rushing around Writer/s: Brandon Flowers, Dave Brent Keuning, Mark August Stoermer, Ronnie Jr. Vannucci

  • Y’know from TexasI like to think that “boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend” means she’s a lesbian dating his ex and he’s in denial about her sexuality because it would mean he doesn’t so much as have a chance of her cheating with him.
  • Litz from Sao PauloAm I the only one that thinks that sometimes the bass line is too similar to "Boys & Girls" by Blur, also the lyrics?
