Linked Arms With Loretta

[Verse 1] You came in smiling, all sure and bright Like you still had some right to my night Then Loretta caught my eye and knew What I was too tired to say to you She slid right in like she’d planned that scene Her hand on my arm, her voice serene And just like that, the room let go I felt my breathing start to slow [Pre-Chorus] I let out a breath Like I’d been underwater Your name on my lips Doesn’t fit me any softer [Chorus] Loretta links arms with me Pulls me clean and sets me free I can feel my shoulders fall Hear my heart say that’s all Boyfriend Boyfriend I’m losing my taste for it Boyfriend Boyfriend Why does that sound like a script? [Verse 2] You stood there waiting for me to fold Like a habit I was bought and sold But Loretta moved with a steady grace Took the whole ugly edge out of the place And I laughed, half nerves and half relief Like a storm had passed through my teeth The word you wore like it meant a home Started feeling thin and wrong [Pre-Chorus] I let out a breath And it turned into freedom Your hand on my past I don’t need to keep it [Chorus] Loretta links arms with me Pulls me clean and sets me free I can feel my shoulders fall Hear my heart say that’s all Boyfriend Boyfriend I’m losing my taste for it Boyfriend Boyfriend Why does that sound like a script? [Bridge] Maybe I knew it all along Maybe I just played along too long But one small pull, one steady friend And the old spell finally met its end [Chorus] Loretta links arms with me Pulls me clean and sets me free I can feel my shoulders fall Hear my heart say that’s all Boyfriend Boyfriend I’m losing my taste for it Boyfriend Boyfriend Why does that sound like a script?
