No Picture Sam Average	#4 by Sam Ordway at Nov 29, 1972 at 3:40 PM EST
	just for the record, the cd version says "so then we smiled" and the other one that's floating around on the internet says "(and/so) then i smiled." i cant remember which, sorry. and i wrote these lyrics myself, just listening. and he definitely says 'fuck.' and i am going to comment on this song about fifty more times.

No Picture RoBsN Average	#7 by RoBsN Stalder at Jul 16, 1976 at 10:09 AM EST
	these are the lyrics I called you up to see if maybe we could hang out and I told you I was nervous and feeling lonely but I bit my lip and you said yes and I thought of how beautiful the night would be and I thought maybe we could drive around talking about your town or we could just stay at home and I could win over acting cool just like real romance.

No Picture NIK Average	#8 by NIK blaszczyszyn at Mar 26, 1977 at 11:57 PM EST
	this song was first recorded on a demo, and the original lyrics did say "i bit my lip, and you were like 'fuckin hell yeah' then we smiled..." and the end is "i could win you over acting cool... real fucking romance." i guess they intentionally wanted us to take the time to figure out the actual lyrics instead of simply reading it from an insert inside the cd..those crazy jersey kids.

No Picture jake Average	#9 by jake battkoo at Feb 8, 1978 at 6:34 AM EST
	yeah he does say fuck I can hear it now, I cannot believe that I didn't hear it before...yeah I know it was stupid of me.

No Picture chris Average	#10 by chris jenko at Jun 10, 1979 at 1:57 AM EST
	I always sang the real fucking romance at the end despite the booklet, but now i know the other one. if i might add i think its and you were like fucking "hell yeah" because who says "fucking hell yeah" and also i think that one line is "and it made me smile, i thought how beautiful..." rather than, "then we smiled" because how would he know if she smiled over the phone?

No Picture marvin Lead Player	#11 by marvin at Nov 11, 1979 at 6:04 PM EST
	the lyrics you guys thought you heard sounded good anyways, i really like the off your cloth- ance

No Picture *Lee Average	#12 by Lee at Oct 28, 1980 at 8:48 AM EST
	i love this song....i denno its so simple...and thats how romance is, or beings, its all so simple, yet so complicated

No Picture Aaron Wanna Be	#13 by Aaron Frederick at Jul 21, 1981 at 11:22 PM EST
	i thought it sounded like he was saying "real fucking romance" ... heh..

No Picture Dylan Average	#14 by Dylan Ruiz at Nov 30, 1981 at 8:27 AM EST
	yeah i know exactly what you mean...sounds like he says "bucket-head oh yeah" instead of "you said yes..." and "just like real romance" sounds like "rip of your cloth-ance."

No Picture Jacob Lead Player	#15 by Jacob Julian at Mar 24, 1984 at 4:06 PM EST
	O man this song is so brilliant. First of all this is one of his stream of consciousness style poem songs... tight as shit. But im talking about the guitar composure.... they built up the tempo until the "i could win you over acting cool" part... and they chop it up so melodically... its magic... thats all i can say

No Picture ben Rhythm Player	#16 by ben kurkul at Oct 18, 1985 at 3:12 AM EST
	Is anyone else having trouble understanding what's being sung after "I bit my lip and" it doesn't sound like and is too long to be "you said yes"

No Picture kelson Average	#17 by kelson white at Nov 11, 1985 at 2:28 PM EST
	i was in a scenario like that. how cool is that?? plus, i'm from jersey. but when i bit MY lip, waiting for a response, the guy said no.... not "yes," and certainly not "fucking hell yah." or "fucking hell yes." ......blahblahblah. OH WELL. i heart saves the day.

No Picture chris Average	#18 by chris jenko at Aug 14, 1994 at 4:50 AM EST
	hahaha... this song is really funny, like how you guys were saying about how its hard to understand... its true... but funny... it's a good song..

No Picture Sawyer Rhythm Player	#20 by Sawyer Hildebrandt at Jan 19, 1999 at 2:51 PM EST
	it doesn't really sound like so then i smiled, it sounds more like 'then we smile' ... i don't know, that's just what i hear when i listen to it.

No Picture Abe Lead Player	#21 by Abe Watson at Aug 5, 2000 at 4:42 PM EST
	i think it sounds like i bit my lip you were no fucking help but now that i listen to it more it sounds like fucking hell yeah but there not why it's you said yes

No Picture Zane Rhythm Player	#22 by Zane Haight at Jan 29, 2004 at 9:04 PM EST
	I've never noticed that Chris says "fuck" in that song. I guess I'll have to listen to it really closely. I'm not saying that you're wrong or anything but where did you get these lyrics from? I'm not trying to be mean or anything. I hear "so then we smiled" too.

No Picture claireus Wanna Be	#23 by claireus s at Dec 16, 2006 at 4:10 PM EST
	i agree, its definitely "then we". i think its "so then we smiled." ok. wow.

No Picture chris Average	#24 by chris ovari at Apr 15, 2007 at 7:52 AM EST
