THE CURE

She told me of a man who needed his space
I could see her sorrow in the smile on her face
It’s a tired line I know
But it’s true
Any man who’d leave you baby
Well he’s a fool

She’s young and beautiful and smart
She’s the cure for a broken heart

I told her of troubles I had of my own
How a woman can turn a young man’s heart to stone
I could tell by the way she sighed
She agreed
And I thought yeah baby
You’re exactly what I need

You’re young and beautiful and smart
You’re the cure for a broken heart

I thought I’d find a remedy in a bottle at the bar
I thought I’d find a remedy in a little red sports car
I thought I’d find a remedy takin’ on a new point of view
But the only cure I found so far is you

I wondered if we stood a snowballs chance in Havana
I imagine she’d just say no and it’s probably doesn’t matter
But for one stolen moment
When her eyes met mine
She said I was a beautiful man
And I’d be just fine

She was young and beautiful and smart
She was the cure for a broken heart
