Romance Is For Others

Victory is for lovers
If our Johnny makes it home
Romance is for others
As we spend our lives alone

Victory is for lovers
I'll see you on the street
Romance is for others
Of the multitudes we meet

When we leave we want to stay
And when we stay, to go -
Only thinking what we want
Is somebody to hold

Victory is for lovers
For Rosie's riveting gun
Romance is for others
Inviting us just for fun

Victory is for lovers
Climbing fortune's hill
Romance is for others
Taking twice the time to kill

When we leave we want to stay
And when we stay, to go -
Only thinking what we want
Is somebody we know

You might think I'm saying
That there's no hope for love
But I think it's really just
A struggle to unglove

Laughter is contagious
Some have to hide it all
Lonely and courageous
They answer to their call

Victory is for lovers
A fortress off its guard
Romance is for others
They stroll the prison yard

When we leave we want to stay
And when we stay, to go -
Only thinking what we need is
Someone to watch grow old

Victory is for lovers
Some say it's only fair
Romance is for others
Or our hours if we dare
