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
Amor tonto
Era uno de esos lugares, era una de esas noches
Ella era una de esas chicas
Que había rasgado a propósito agujeros en sus medias
La vi apoyada en la barra
Vistiendo el tapizado de leopardo de un auto robado
Pensé que era una estrella porno
Tenía un nombre que nunca recordaría
Tenía un rostro que nunca olvidaré
Nos paramos entre las ruinas
Y encendí su cigarrillo
En la luz del fósforo
Podía ver que sonreía mientras decía
Espero que el amor tonto sea suficiente
Y que nunca te aburras con lo sucio
Porque el amor tonto
Era el único tipo de amor que conocía
Ella no era como ninguna chica que hubiera conocido
Aunque las luces estaban encendidas
Obviamente no había nadie en casa
No sé qué pensé que encontraría
Mirando el mundo demasiado tiempo a través de sus persianas venecianas
Podría dejarme con una mente hambrienta
Solía vivir con un hombre sospechoso
Y ambos adoptaban una hermosa pose
Pero ella solo amaba su dinero
Y él solo amaba su ropa
Pero ella nunca miró atrás
Solo seguía sonriendo mientras decía
Solo hago amor tonto y nada más
Y más te vale hablar contigo mismo
Quizás el amor tonto nunca sea suficiente para ti
Cada mañana, busca en la cama
Pero no hay nadie cerca
Y es el comienzo de otro largo día
Escucha algo
Pero sabe que no hay nada que escuchar
Solo el suspiro de una autopista distante
Tenía un nombre que nunca recordaría
Tenía un rostro que nunca olvidaré
Nos paramos entre las ruinas
Y encendí su cigarrillo
En la luz del fósforo
Podía ver que lloraba mientras decía
Sabía que el amor tonto no sería suficiente
Y pronto te aburrirías con lo sucio
Porque el amor tonto
Era el único tipo de amor que conocía
Ella solo hace amor tonto y nada más
Y más te vale hablar contigo mismo
Quizás el amor tonto nunca sea suficiente para ti
