You talk about life, the imitatin' art

Well I was sure that I heard the director yell, "Take it from the start"

And I could feel my body crushin' yours

As the camera dollied into place

Your husband's in the front row, I couldn't look him in the face



Part of the pleasure was that it felt so wrong

But it grew too fast too strong



Chorus:

Don't you think your friends are talkin', Alyson?

They're blamin' it all on me, I'm blamin' it all on love

Well don't you think your friends are talkin', Alyson?

Just a little sexual tension under the guise of love



Young and tragic, I really felt the part

While we were sweatin' and screamin', tearin' out his heart

Well I was sure I heard the wind in the wires cryin' in sympathy

For star-crossed lovers, Aly that ain't you or me



Part of the pleasure was that it felt so wrong

But it grew too fast too strong



chorus



Before we made them run into the new bedroom

We knew the curtain would be coming down soon

Reviews were mixed, the press was unkind

Aly I hope they will forgive us in time, in time



(Solo)



Part of the attraction was that we knew it couldn't last

So we closed our eyes and held on fast



Don't you think your friends are talking, Alyson?

Who were we tryin' to fool, what was I thinkin' of?



chorus
