From the recording Memorophilia
A young man whose life has recently been enlightened finds a fiery, outgoing girlfriend who he marries and tries to settle down. They have child, a little girl, and he comes to realize she is much like her mother, but he would like to grow old with them even though their prospects are so different from each other.
Lyrics
Born again in the ghetto...celebrating life
He meets a girl in stilettos, she will be alright
Hoping one day they can be a man and wife
He takes a job in the city working days and nights
She does her thing making pretty, going 9 to 5
There never seems to be a moment or spare time
He wants to be with her until he's eighty nine
Sentimental love is on the line
She don't really wanna be tied down
Got her freedom and her wild eyed mind
Sentimental love is on the line
They bear a child on the summer, beautiful and bright
She turns his heart into butter
And melts him with those steely eyes
Then he looks into the future to his surprise
He'd like to stay with her until he's eighty nine
Sentimental love is on the line
She won't really wanna be tied down
With her freedom and her wild eyed mind
Sentimental love is on the line
The light upon their lives will surely be okay
With another little new addition on the way
Their love goes up and down
But commitment can be found
Even though they live in disarray
Sentimental love is on the line
He wants to stay with them until he's eighty nine
Sentimental love is on the line
They don't really wanna be tied down
Got their freedom and their wild eyed minds
Sentimental love is on the line
