The New Nathan Detroits lyrics

nineteen ninety eight looked great on
plain white paper on the fiftieth plane to champaign
but to tell you the truth

and put the kids in their beds

so let s take our time and hurry

go my son has come home
i said no and made my own

oh addy do i love you
but god such things i have to do
addy do i want to hear you
but i just can t get through
addy do i miss you
these dreams i sing when i
kiss you

oh addy do i love you
but got such things i have to do
ady do i want to hold you
but anyone may do
addy do i miss you
these dreams i sing when i m
