THE CLARKS LYRICS - Courtney

"Courtney"



Everyone's gonna look at me, confounded by my decency

I've got no tales of personal tragedy

Everyone's gonna know my name, they'll talk about my new found fame

Alluding to my functional family



She said she liked a simple melody

She brought me onstage for a bow

I stood there laughing all I said was wow

Courtney loves me now



Now my friends they all want to know, is this for real or is it just a show

They're taking bets on when I'm history

All her friends are gonna tell her things, shared apartments, diamond rings

And how that car phone's an absolute necessity



She said she liked the way I kissed her cheek

She brought me upstairs, grabbed a towel

I stood there laughing all I said was wow

Courtney loves me now



Courtney's fond of telling me, I'm everything she used to be

Bridget Fonda's telling her, let's go for steaks baby, you could wear your fur



Then I'll ask to have her hand, and hold it as she quits the band

She whispers playfully you can open up for me

Buy a house, maybe hit the road, share a joint, maybe share the load

And laugh about our plans they're history



She said she liked the way I licked her feet

She brought me upstairs, showed me how

I stood there laughing all I said was wow

Courtney loves me now
