Will you stay in a lover's story
If you stay you won't be sorry
Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grow
So take a chance
With a couple of kooks, hung up on romancing
Bought you a lot of things to keep you warm and dry
A funny old crib on which the paint won't dry
I bought you a pair of shoes
A trumpet you can blow and a book of rules on what to say to people when they pick on you
Cause if you stay with us you're gonna be pretty kooky too
Will you stay in a lover's story
If you stay you won't be sorry
Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grown
So take a chance
With a couple of kooks, hung up on romancing
And if they ever have to go to school
Remember how they messed up this old fool
Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cats
Cause I'm not much cop at punching other people's dads
And if the homework brings you down
Then we'll throw it on the fire and take the car downtown
Will you stay in a lover's story
If you stay you won't be sorry
Cause we believe in you
Soon you'll grown
So take a chance
With a couple of kooks, hung up on romancing
