[Intro]                   [Verse] Max’s Kansas City some many years ago you always lost the umbrella It didn’t rain but I’m sure did snow Catch a glimpse of Andy Warhol walking his dogs downtown When he talked everybody listened although he rarely made a sound As for me I never stopped talking that’s all I knew how to do So when it hit me I never heard it coming the first time I listened to you [Chorus] NC.                        C                          F Your’re gonna chase love away you’re gonna be by yourself You’ll be looking for a lover and he’ll be with somebody else [Verse] The Seventies oh such strange time   no one knew what to do With the children of the Sixties it didn’t matter what they’d been through So come on we’ll build our own world   shut the door so tight Now everything is in color baby but we always preferred black and white Well of course there were other reasons  it’s so complicated now I watched you put on your makeup for hours and hours Though we hardly every left the house [Chorus] NC.                        C                          F Your’re gonna chase love away you’re gonna be by yourself You’ll be looking for a lover and he’ll be with somebody else And you’ll be wondering why you’ll be asking your friends But their advice and good suggestions your obsesion just won’t end [Bridge] I thank God I’m not the man I used to be Looking in the mirror can make you blind you see We were lost in our own fantasy It hurts to let go untill you’re finally free [Chorus] NC.                        C                          F Your’re gonna chase love away you’re gonna be by yourself You’ll be looking for a lover and he’ll be with somebody else And you’ll be wondering why you’ll be asking your friends But their advice and good suggestions your obsesion just won’t end And you’ll be cursing the sky can’t take your eyes off the ground You’ll be looking for excuses when there’s no blame to be found [Outro] NC.                        C                              C Your’re gonna chase love away your’re gonna chase love away Your’re gonna chase love away your’re gonna chase love away

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les thèmes de la solitude et de la difficulté à établir des relations amoureuses. Elle parle d'une personne qui, malgré des souvenirs nostalgiques et des rêves partagés, semble incapable de garder l’amour près d'elle. Les paroles décrivent un parcours où les attentes et les réalités se heurtent, menant à la frustration et à la quête d’un compagnon qui est souvent avec quelqu’un d'autre. Elle fait aussi référence à une époque marquée par des changements tumultueux, où les illusions se mêlent à une certaine mélancolie. Ce contraste entre le besoin d'amour et la peur de l'engagement se ressent dans l'histoire racontée. Les réflexions sur le passé et la reconnaissance de sa propre transformation ajoutent une profondeur à cette quête, nous rappelant que, pour avancer, il faut parfois laisser derrière soi ce qui nous pèse.
