lyrics

Strike the Romance – Words and music by Phil Klahn

Oh, the curves of her body
(Remember the emptiness)
Oh, those beautiful blue eyes
(Did you forget her icy stare?)

And everyone’s in love with her
What don’t they see?

Strike the romance
Pull up the stakes
Douse the fire
I’ve had all I can take

Strike the romance
This love is over
Strike the romance
Strike this romance

Oh, her soft, sweet lips
(Remember the words she said)
Oh, that wonderful, warm embrace
(Did you forget her cold shoulder?)

And everyone’s in love with her
What don’t they see?

Strike the romance
Pull up the stakes
Douse the fire
I’ve had all I can take

Strike the romance
This love is over
Strike the romance
Strike this romance

She’s really a lovely girl
It’s like pillow talk in a dream world
You might be the lucky one,
Me, I’m gone

And everyone just can’t believe
I’d turn my back and walk away
‘Cause everyone’s in love with her
What can I say?

Strike the romance
Pull up the stakes
Douse the fire
I’ve had all I can take

Strike the romance
This love is over
Strike the romance
Strike this romance
