It's Time for Jonathan Richman version - Lyrics
Well, some boys don't believe that you can have much fun
And that's why you oughta know about this love of mine
Sticking with one girl as their only one
And that's why you oughta know about this love I have
I want them to throw me a glance, give me a little chance
I'll tell them personally a song about a real romance
I knew I was going to wait for her when I didn't have a sign
And that's why you oughta know about this love of mine
Well some girls don't believe that a boy can stay
And that's why they oughta know about this love of mine
They think the boy has got to turn around one day
And that's why they oughta know about this love of mine
They're gonna think "Ah-oh, it won't work", They'll think "I'm gonna
look like a jerk"
"I tried it in the first grade and all I got was hurt
But I knew I would wait for her when I didn't have a sign
And that's why they oughta know about this love of mine
Well now, Mister Realistic aren't you feeling kind of cold
And that's why you oughta know about this love of mine
You've forgotten what it feels to be five years old
And that's why you oughta know about this love I got
I want you to put down your glass, give me a little chance
I'm gonna sing a song about a real romance
I knew I would wait for her when I didn't have a sign
And that's why they oughta know about this love of mine

Live In Tampa Bay 1992 version - Lyrics
Well, some boys don't believe that they can have much fun
And that's why I'm stopping to talk now about this love of mine
they don't believe they can stick with an only one
And that's why I'm tryin to tell them a little about this love I have
so, throw me a glance, give me a chance
and I'll sing you personally a song about a real life romance
well I wait for the girl when I didn't have a sign
And that's why I'm startin to talk about this love of mine
myself, myself what did I do when I was waitin?
well I lost faith in love, a thousand times or more
yeah and that's why I telling you today about this love of mine
but then 1001, it returned once more
and that's why I talk about this love
what do I want from you? I want you to
throw me a glance, throw me a glance
and I'm gonna talk you into taking a terrible chance
you see, I waited for the girl when my friends said there was no chance
that's why I talk about this love of mine
some girls
Well some girls don't believe that their boy will stay
And that's why I'm talking directly to them about this love of mine
They think their man has got to turn around one day
And that's why I tell you about this a love I got
Throw me a look, put down your book
and I'll sing you a little tale about a love that's worked
I waited for the girl when I didn't have a sign
and that's and that's why I talk about this a love of mine
well now things got worse and worse for 1000 days
and that's why I talk about this love of mine
and on 1001 well she turned my way
(ok, maybe it wasn't 1001, maybe it was like 1073, it's all right)
but that's why I talk about this a love I got
throw me a glance
(I got another verse, I've already done that verse, I got another one for ya, I got another verse for ya)
throw me
show me your face, slow down your pace
and I'll talk ya into waiting for a hopeless case
and I waited for the girl, when I didn't have a sign
and that's why I wanna talk about this love of mine
well well hey!
