I Still Love You - Arthur Russell

Last Saturday afternoon

She and me could not agree

We got mad and both decided

To lock the door, throw away the key

I drove off to Santa Barbara

She kept on at acting school

Driving in my yellow sports car

I would never play the fool

Made it to the other freeway

And stopped to get some gasoline

I had not been so downhearted

Not since I was seventeen

I found the men’s room after looking

Around the corner of the place

Over letters M-E-N

The note was pinned up to my face

It said:

I still love you

I wish there was some way to show you

I’m thinking of you

And I can’t pretend that I don’t know you

I still love you

I wish there was some way to show you

I’m thinking of you

And I can’t pretend that I don’t know you

Last Saturday afternoon

She and me could not agree

We got mad and both decided

To lock the door, throw away the key

I drove off to cold Rhode Island

She kept living on her own

I was dreaming at the stoplight

I talked on the telephone

I said:

I still love you

I wish there was some way to show you

I’m thinking of you

And I can’t pretend that I don’t know you
