Songtexte Chuck E's In Love (45 Version) - Rickie Lee Jones

How come he don't come and PLP with me
Down at the meter no more
How come he turned off the TV
And hang that sign on the door?
When we call, and we call "How come?," we say
What could make a boy behave this way, yeah

He learns all of the lines now
And every time he don't stutter when he talks
And it's true, it's true, he sure is acquired
It's kinda cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walks
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
If this ain't healthy, is it some kinda clean?

I think that Chuck E's in love
Chuck E's in love (no, no, no)
Chuck E's in love
Chuck E's in love

I don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something I've gotta see, is he here?
Lookin' the pool hall, is he here?
I look in the drugstore, is he here?
No, he don't come here no more

I'll tell you what, I saw him
He was sittin' behind us down at the Pantages
And whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve
I hope it isn't contagious
What's her name? Is that her there?
Oh, Christ, I think he's even combed his hair!

Is that her, what's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna to be same
That's not her
I know what's wrong
'Cause Chuck E's in love with the little girl who's singing this song

Dont you know Chuck E's in love (yeah, yeah)
Chuck E's in love (no, no, no)
Chuck E's in love (ma, ma)
Chuck E's in
Chuck E's in love
Chuck E's in love, he's in love with me
