What the hell is wrong with you tonight?
I can't seem to say or do the right thing
Wanted to be sure you're feeling right
Wanted to be sure we want the same thing

She said, I can't believe it
You can't possibly mean it
Don't we all want the same thing?
Don't we?
Well who said anything about love?

No, not love, she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
No, not love, she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
You're all the same

Mama always told me, save yourself
Take a little time and find the right girl
Then again, don't end up on the shelf
Logical advice gets you in a whirl

I know a lot of things that you don't
You wanna hear some?
She said, just give me something
Anything
Well, give me all you got, but not love

No, not love, she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
No, not love, she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
You're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same
Who said anything about love?

No, not love, she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
No, not love, she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
No, no, no, no, not love, she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
Don't give me love
No, no, no, no, no, not love, she said
Don't you know that it's different for girls?
You're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same
You're all the same

Thin_Air Apr 16, 2013 - 03:46	You have every right to an opinion but I have to disagree. JJ is musically schooled and live is brilliant vocally and instrumentally - perhaps he is a bit on the tall side but other than that I reckon he's rght up there! evermovingtarget wrote: Just too bad his voice is so terrible... And sounds so completely out of tune! Just can't stand to listen to this stuff.... IMHO... [ Reply ]

Jazzy and totally in the pocket. I've never heard it anywhere else, so whenever I hear a Joe Jackson song, it sets up a jonesing in my bones for that instrument-less song... IIRC, there's a a cappella version on his Live 1980/86 album. Given how tight his band is live, it may match what you heard. [ Reply ]
