The man in me will do nearly any task
 And as for compensation, there’s little he would ask
 Take a woman like you
 To get through to the man in me

 When you are near
 It’s just as plain as it can be
 I’m wild about you, gal
 You ought to be a fool about me

 Now Ophelia, she’s ’neath the window
 For her I feel so afraid
 On her twenty-second birthday
 She already is an old maid

 Ain’t talkin’, just walkin’
 Up the road around the bend
 Heart burnin’, still yearnin’
 In the last outback, at the world’s end

 Romeo, he said to Juliet, “You got a poor complexion
 It doesn’t give your appearance a very youthful touch!”
 Juliet said back to Romeo, “Why don’t you just shove off
 If it bothers you so much”

40 years ago this week, "Summer Of '69" by #BryanAdams entered the #Top10 at 9. It peaked at 5 on 31 Aug 1985. The video features the same actress he used in "Heaven" a few months earlier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFjjO_lhf9c #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

 If you ever try to interfere with me or cross my path again
 You do so at the peril of your own life
 I’m not quite as cool or forgiving as I sound
 I’ve seen enough heartaches and strife

 Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you
 And then he kneels
 He crosses himself
 And then he clicks his high heels
