Well, I was just eighteen and he looked like Steve McQueen
And I was pretty green and ripe for love.
Well, he took me out to bars
We went parkin' in his car
And every night he showed me what love was

And Love Was Once Around the Dance Floor
Have another drink or two
Just before a drive beneath the stars
Then Love Was once around the back seat of his souped-up Chevrolet
Once around a dream and gone away

Well, he was quite a love and I didn't have another
For a while when he took away his love
'Cause it's so hard to get used to doin'
Without what you're used to
And when it's gone you know just what love was

And Love Was Once Around the Dance Floor
Have another drink or two
Just before a drive beneath the stars
Then Love Was once around the back seat of his souped-up Chevrolet
Once around a dream and gone away

Lookin' back now I don't wonder if the lightning and the thunder
I felt had anything to do with love
'Cause there comes a time for learnin' when you learn while you are bunrin'
And you find that wasn't really what love was.

And Love Was Once Around the Dance Floor
Have another drink or two
Just before a drive beneath the stars
Then Love Was once around the back seat of his souped-up Chevrolet
Once around a dream and gone away
