Chuck 'E's in Love

A Rickie Lee Jones original

Lyrics:

How come he don't come

and PIP with me

Down at the meter anymore?

And, how come he turn off the TV?

And he hung that sign on the door?

We call and we call

"How come?" we say

Hey, what could make a boy behave this way?

So he has learnt all of the lines down here

every time, and he don't stutter when he talks.

Well it's true! It's true!

He sure has acquired this kinda cool

And inspired sorta jazz when he walks

Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?

Well, this ain't healthy, it is some kinda dream

That means

Chuck E.'s in love

Chuck E.'s in love

Chuck E.'s in love

Chuck E.'s in love

I don't believe what you're saying to me

This is something that I've got to seeIs he here?

I look in the poolhall

Is he here?

I look in the drugstore

Is he here?

No, he don't come here no more

Well I'll tell you what, I saw him

He was sitting behind us down in the pantages

And whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve

Well, I hope it isn't contagious

What's her name?

Is that her there?

Oh, Christ, I think he's even combed his hair

Is that her?

Well, what's her name?

Oh, it's never gonna be the same

But that's not her

I know what's wrong

'Cause Chuck E.'s in love

With the little girl singin' this song

Don't you know?

Chuck E.'s in love, yeah yeah

Chuck E.'s in love

Chuck E.'s in love, my my

Chuck E.'s in

Chuck E.'s in love

Chuck E.'s in love

He's in love

Love with me
