about

a trip back to a 1960s that never was

lyrics

You don't have to be unhappy. You don't have to feel ignored.
You talk to your guy, he barely replies 'cause he's bored.
Maybe he is built like a statue. So he drives a fancy car.
When you are talking to me, you'll be the star.

I care. I'm happy when you share.
‘Cause is life is so lonely. We can't spend it hiding in the sand.
It's better with a friend.
And while we are talking I will smile and gently hold your hand.
I'll help you understand.

You don't have to feel uneasy. You don't have to be alone,
Hold it inside or cry to your mom on the phone.
I am not your average hero. There's no flowers in my hair.
But when all the heroes are gone, I will be there.

Just shout. It's good to get it out.
‘Cause life is so hard and full of stories you must tell.
I listen very well.
I want to know everything about your boyfriend's cheating ways.
I'm gonna take his place.

I listen. I listen. You don't know what you're missin'.
I listen. I listen. I listen so well.
I listen. I listen. And soon we might be kissin'.
I listen. I listen. I listen so well.
