All those pretty dollhouses going up in flames…

When Ashley Said Goodbye

 

 

 

 

 

There was a point when I realized the attractive, smart, funny young adults around me had been named by my generation (yeah, talkin’ ’bout that generation).

Someplace in the early 90’s I realized all the pretty girls were named Ashley and Taylor and Sarah — all the names girls I went to college with said they were going to name their daughters — and I felt kind of old.

When Ashley Said Goodbye

Amber said hello when Ashley said good-bye
I said hold on but there’s no wondering why
when love wants in, love can knock down yer door

I said Amber, I think this is forever
she said baby you’re yanking on my tether
when all is said and done love will even up the score

Love will fool ya — love can kill ya
Love is all that love can give ya
and still you keep coming back for more

Love is funny — love is cruel
Love’ll make Einstein act just like a fool
Love’ll make a tomcat dive in-a swimin pool

All these toys all these games
all these pretty dollhouses going up in flames
if you play around enough you know you’re gonna get burned

Love will fool ya — love can kill ya
Love is all that love can give ya
and still you keep coming back for more
