Sure Fire Love

Hey she never played with matches
And she was just one of us neighborhood kids
Well she was big on hide and seek
She always was, always kept a secret place hid
Yeah, she always kept a secret place hid
Like the young willow tree that we planted out back
She’d grown up strong and tall
She used to say like the leaves with when the autumn wind fell
Her heart might one day fall
Yeah, her heart might fall
For a sure fire love
The secret kind she’s been dreaming of
Until she finds one too good to give up
She’s looking for a sure fire love
She’ll be looking for a sure fire love
She seen her parents break up, car break down
Neighborhood turned pretty rough
She met a man she swore was right for her
Couldn’t seem to love him enough
But she could never love him enough
She said friend I used to watch that willow tree bend
When the winter wind started to fly
I learned a thing or two there about hanging in
And when it’s time to shoot for the sky
She be 'bout to take a shot
On a sure fire love
The secret kind she’s been dreaming of
Until she finds one too good to give up
She’s looking for a sure fire love
Hey, looking for a sure fire love
A sure fire love
Oh, one that won’t go astray
A sure fire love
Oh, one that’s good to stay
Not fade away
It was a half past ten, I was settling in
When the telephone rang last night
There a voice I hadn’t heard for some lonely years
Filled my heart with light
Yeah, filled my heart
With a sure fire love
The secret kind she’s been dreaming of
Until she finds one too good to give up
She’s looking for a sure fire love
Oh, looking for a sure fire
Sure fire love
The secret kind she’s been dreaming of
Until she finds one too good to give up
She’s looking for a sure fire love
Hey, looking for a sure fire love
