Dumb Love

It was one of those places, it was one of those nights

She was one of them girls

Who had purposely ripped holes in her tights

I saw her leaning up against the bar

Wearing the leopard upholstery from a stolen car

I thought she was a porno star

She had a name I would never remember

She had a face I will never forget

We stood among the ruins

And I lit her cigarette

In the light from the match

I could see she was smiling as she said

I hope that dumb love will be enough

And you never get bored with the dirty stuff

'Cause dumb love

Was the only kind of love she knew

She was like no girl that I had ever known

Though the lights were on

There was obviously nobody home

I don't know what I ever thought I'd find

Looking at the world too long through her Venetian blind

Could leave me with a hungry mind

She used to live with a man who was shady

And they both struck a beautiful pose

But she only loved his money

And he only loved her clothes

But she never looked back

She just kept smiling as she said

I just make dumb love and nothing else

And you might as well talk to yourself

Maybe dumb love will never be enough for you

Every morning, she searches the bed

But there's nobody near

And it's the start of another long day

She listens for something

But knows that there's nothing to hear

Only the sigh of a distant highway

She had a name I would never remember

She had a face I will never forget

We stood among the ruins

And I lit her cigarette

In the light from the match

I could see she was crying as she said

I knew that dumb love wouldn't be enough

And you'd soon get bored with the dirty stuff

'Cause dumb love

Was the only kind of love she knew

She just makes dumb love and nothing else

And you might as well talk to yourself

Maybe dumb love will never be enough for you
