From the recording There Goes Rhymin' Pie Man- 2026
Lyrics
Sometimes ya get the blues. Always loved the chorus melody in this song. And Larry Sieber's recurring chimey electric piano figures.
Holdin' hands through the neighborhood
All our friends say we're
Lookin’ good
Peekin’ out from
Their window chair
They wave and smile
At their perfect pair
But they don’t see the tears
When you close your heart on me
And they don’t know how we agree
to disagree
And lover when you’re on my arm
And flash contented eyes
They believe our masquerade
They see our disguise and…
It knocks the heart out of me
It knocks the soul out of me
We always manage to sabotage romance
It knocks the heart out of me
Now honey don’t you agree
Sometimes you wanna be free
You look like an angel
But you bark like a dog
You got a hundred objections
In your catalog
I don’t know if you’re comin’
Or if you’re goin’ off
I try hard to be selfless
But I don’t need a boss
So in our fleeting moments
Of comfort and delight
We’re just tunin' up a bit
For broken hearted spite
And I suppose it’s fair to say
It’s not your fault all
It’s just the way the world feels
When lovers hit the wall and
It knocks the heart out of me
It knocks the soul out of me
We always manage to sabotage romance
It knocks the heart out of me
Now honey don’t you agree
Sometimes you wanna be free
Maybe in another time we
Coulda kept our vow
To give each other love but
Were not ready now and
It knocks the heart out of me
It knocks the soul out of me
We always manage to sabotage romance
And though its our destiny
that you need to be free
It knocks the heart out of me
