No Souvenirs Lyrics By Melissa Etheridge

    hello hello
    this is romeo
    calling from a jackpot telephone
    shame shame
    but i love your name
    and the way you make the buffalo roam
    oh fly fly
    i guess this is goodbye
    oh you packed up your heart
    and you left no souvenirs

    but if you want me
    you can call me
    in the night you know
    where i’ll be
    broken lover
    you can touch me
    in the dark
    the innocent can’t see

    you lock it up now
    hide the key
    it would mean surrender
    to let me see
    oh brave brave soldier
    keep it under cover
    you fell alone
    like no other lover

    burn the pictures
    break the records
    run far away
    to a northern town
    sell your fear
    and leave me standing here
    with no souvenirs

    once twice
    i thought it might be nice
    to come into your kitchen and play
    cool cool
    just a crazy fool
    i never saw it any other way
    oh wait wait
    i guess i’m just too late
    oh you made up your mind
    love shouldn’t be so hard

    but if you want me
    you can call me
    in the nights you know
    where i’ll be
    broken lover
    you can touch me
    in the dark
    the innocent can’t see

    you lock it up now
    hide the key
    it would mean surrender
    to let me see
    oh brave brave soldier
    keep it under cover
    you fell alone
    like no other lover

    burn the pictures
    break the records
    run far away
    to a northern town
    sell your fear
    and leave me standing here
    with no souvenirs

    no shirts no shoes
    no jackets no blues
    your car’s for sale
    you forward your mail
    you’re growing your hair
    you don’t want to know
    where i’m calling you from
    or how come

    but if you want me
    you can call me
    in the nights you know
    where i’ll be
    broken lover
    you can touch me
    in the dark
    the innocent can’t see

    you lock it up now
    hide the key
    it would mean surrender
    to let me see
    brave brave soldier
    keep it under cover
    you fell alone
    like no other lover

    burn the pictures
    break the records
    run far away
    to a northern town
    sell your fear
    and leave me standing here
    with no souvenirs
    yeah

    hello hello
    this is romeo
