you're in your suburban home
hanging on the telephone
i'm in my room playing records

it takes me to another world
like holidays in the sun
or when i am looking for a kiss

when i sit in my room
i listen to it over and over

[Chorus]

play it again - i think i'm obsessed with you
play it again - i can't get enough of you
play it again - wearing out my sound system
play it again - that song that i can't get off my mind

i met you in my wild youth
that's when i fell for you
but you were 2000 light years away

well i guess i always knew
i'd have to say goodbye to you
why is it always this way?

when i'm driving in my car
i listen to it over and over

[Chorus]
