The Plastic Kind - Who to Love (They Can't Tell You)

You hopped the border and came up to this town
I mistook your nervousness for a frown
You trembled when I put my hands on your hips
Still tremblin' when... when I kiss your lips

I know you sometimes miss everything back home
I see your eyes well up when you're talking on the phone
Tiny bird dancing in hurricane winds
Sometimes you take one... right on the chin

They can try to bring you down
Try to kick you out
Try to rule you from above
But they can't tell you who to love, love

Weekends on the east side seem long ago
Wandering through the mountains and the snow
My nerves took over but I did my best
Mangled the words... you still said yes

You hate it when the rain is falling down
You've always been a little afraid of clowns
You squeeze a lime over a bowl of chips
You drink Mezcal... In tiny sips

They can try to bring you down
Try to kick you out
Try to rule you from above
But they can't tell you who to love, love
They can try to bring you down
Try to kick you out
Try to rule you from above
But they can't tell you who to love, love
