LOVE IN THE BACK SEAT
(David Wilkins)


Little David Wilkins - 1973



Love in the back seat ain't no way to live
Hidin' in dark shadows, afraid to really give
Jumpin' every time we hear a sound behind our backs
Holdin' our heads low, coverin' up our tracks

Love in the back seat seems so unfair
Happiness is what we're searchin' for, but we ain't found it there
We know it's foolish, we know it's wrong
But our hearts are tuned together and we can't keep from singin' our song

So, baby, step from the darkness into the light
Step from the back seat, change wrong to right
Come in the front door from this moment on
Stay off the back streets, our cheatin' days are gone

So you tell him it's over and I'll tell her I'm gone
Since they don't really love us, they shouldn't hurt for long
And we won't have to hide in shadows, afraid to really give
'Cause love in the back seat ain't no way to live
Oh, baby, love in the back seat just ain't no way to live
