[Intro] [Verse 1] What was it about? The thing you used to do We were just friends Until you weren't [Prechorus 1] Your love was classic And it tasted like spring [Chorus] Oh The love that you gave How could it be wrong? It was classic Baby And the taste of it lingered And it lingered on [Melodic Interlude: Guitar] [Verse 2] You’d lean in the doorway, Sleeves rolled, coffee steam, Turning my bad mornings Into some old movie scene. [Prechorus 2] Your love was classic, But it never learned to stay. [Chorus] Oh The love that you gave, How could it be wrong? It was classic, Baby, And the taste of it lingered, And it lingered on. [Long Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Now the nights are quiet, Radio plays our song, I pour another glass And let the memory run long. [Bridge: halfspoken/blues talk] Maybe it was simple, Maybe we were young, But every time the needle drops I feel that first kiss on my tongue. [Chorus – last] Oh The love that you gave, How could it be wrong? It was classic, Baby, And the taste of it lingers, Yeah, it still lingers on… [Outro] It still lingers on… Still lingers on…
