Train of Love
Annette Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh the train of love keeps a movin' on down the track
Well I left so fast that I even forgot to pack
Well I called my baby on the telephone
Told him to meet me at the station, 'cause I'm coming home. Ya Ya

Woo woo, shovel more coal in the fire (wooo wooo...wooo wooo)
Well I'm coming home..home to my desire (wooo wooo...wooo wooo)
Well I miss him so, how much you'll never know
And when I get back I'll never let him go. No No

Oh my heart keeps beatin', beatin' away
It seems to tell me.. It seems to say
Get right home, just as quick as you can
Into the arms of your loving man

Oh the train of love keeps a movin' on down the line (wooo wooo...wooo wooo)
Well on the locomotive there's a number ninety-nine (wooo wooo...wooo wooo)
That's for ninety-nine kisses I'm a gonna give
And ninety-nine hugs and we're gonna live. Ya Ya

Oh my heart keeps beatin', beatin' away
It seems to tell me.. It seems to say
Get right home just as quick as you can
Into the arms of your lovin' man

Oh the train of love keeps a movin' on down the line (wooo wooo...wooo wooo)
Well on the locomotive there's a number ninety-nine (wooo wooo...wooo wooo)
That's for ninety-nine kisses I'm a gonna give
And ninety-nine hugs and we're gonna live. Ya Ya

That's for ninety-nine kisses I'm a gonna give
And ninety-nine hugs and we're gonna live. Ya Ya




That's for ninety-nine kisses I'm a gonna give
And ninety-nine hugs and we're gonna live. Ya Ya
