It was a matinee, a European
I kept returning for at least ten more shows
Then I followed that film ''round until it closed

Someone else should''ve been thinking for me
They would''ve said an actress only gives you half the story

The half I saw was more than enough
The half I saw was almost too much

I joined her fan club boy did I ever feel young
I couldn''t stop myself I was so badly stung
I found out where she lived I quit my job to find
this flicker in the dark I couldn''t leave behind

Someone else should''ve been thinking for me
They would''ve said an actress only gives you half the story

I went to Santa Barbara and tried to find that girl
but no one can ever tell you it''s impossible...

I hitchhiked home and I got my old job back
I had to take their shit I had to watch them laugh
Now I spend my nights in front of my t.v.
I finally figured out just what she means to me

No one else has to do my thinking for me
I want my actress to just only tell me half the story

The half I saw was more than enough
The half I saw was almost too much
