It was hot outside and the way we felt
Saints would hide, sinners would spell out
All over the sky til our bodies would melt
Makeup ran like water
Skin like cream, 12 years old
Had impossible dreams, everybody told us
“ Girls can love, but not like that”
The days they just grew hotter
For me, it was curiosity
Roxanne, she felt more when holding me…and I say
Love is, love is, love is, love
Love is never wrong
You are, he is, I am, she is
Tryin to belong
Junior high, first day in gym
She's lookin' at me, I'm lookin' at him
All we shared was an innocent kiss
She held on like a lover
In high school my attraction swayed
Roxanne said “it's only a phase”
I was wearin the cloak society made
She could pull the coverFor me, it was curiosity
Roxanne, she felt more when holding me…and I say
Love is, love is, love is, love
Love is never wrong
You are, he is, I am, she is
Tryin to belong
Passion comes in many colors
Paint your doorway, walk on through
Maybe we cannot be lovers
But if your aim is true, love finds you
She went her way, I went mine
There is no deeper friend I'll find
Someone who would walk the line no matter what they might say
I see us both in 50 years
Share our souls over a couple of beers
Remember how we traveled here, and know we went the right way
For me, it was curiosity
Roxanne, she felt more when holding me…and I say
Love is, love is, love is, love
Love is never wrong
You are, he is, I am, she is
Tryin to belong
