Now that it’s long over, I swear to you I’ll never cry again.
Now that it’s long over, I know I’ll never cry for Ray, or West, or Ben.
I gave you my heart and you threw it away.
Tonight at the bar, « you deserved it » I’ll say.
Baby, when we danced I could feel your heart riding mine,
But now I don’t have any tears to use as a sign of love.
I crossed the world just to flee from your eyes.
Now I’ll never cry for any other guys.
Now that it’s long over, I swear to you I’ll never cry, anymore,
Now that it’s long over, I’m sure now on, my goodbyes will be a bore.
Driving my car with the windows down.
At the bar I’ll be wearing my drinks like a crown.
Now I don’t care if they stay or if they go.
I might leave myself when the firs roosters crow.
I crossed the world just to flee from your eyes,
Now I’ll never cry for any other guys.
You look so good in those rock’n’roll pants.
It’s understood, I can’t cry so I’ll dance... I crossed the world.
Jungle leaves on balconies, city horns beside.
Your brown eyes a great escape, a candy horse to ride.
For girls to ride, your big brown eyes.
My sweet surprise, your eyes to ride.
A girl will grab your candy-mane,
She’ll take you where you’ve never been.
Your eyes like leaves your eyes will cry.
She’ll take you riding everywhere, in the air.
She’ll take you riding in the air, and you won’t care where.
And downtown the lights are gold and clear.
And downtown you are her only dear.
