Centerfold by the J. Geils Band

This is one of those songs that you forget about and then you hear the music start and you crank it up. You forget how much you loved this song. Or at least I do.

Come on

Does she walk? Does she talk?

Does she come complete?

My homeroom homeroom angel

Always pulled me from my seat

She was pure like snowflakes

No one could ever stain

The memory of my angel

Could never cause me pain

Years go by, I'm lookin' through a girly magazine

And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between

My blood runs cold

My memory has just been sold

My angel is the centerfold

(Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold (wooh)

My memory has just been sold

(Angel is the centerfold)

Slipped me notes under the desk

While I was thinkin' about her dress

I was shy, I turned away

Before she caught my eye

I was shakin' in my shoes

Whenever she flashed those baby blues

Something had a hold on me

When angel passed close by

Those soft, fuzzy sweaters

Too magical to touch

To see her in that negligée

Is really just too much

My blood runs cold

Yeah, my memory has just been sold

My angel is the centerfold

(Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold

My memory has just been sold (oh yeah)

(Angel is the centerfold)

(Na, na, na...)

Yeah, now listen

It's okay, I understand

This ain't no Never-Never Land

I hope that when this issue's gone

I'll see you when your clothes are on

Take your car, yes we will

We'll take your car and drive it

We'll take it to a motel room

And take 'em off in private

A part of me has just been ripped

The pages from my mind are stripped

Oh no, I can't deny it

Oh yeah, I guess I gotta buy it

My blood runs cold

My memory has just been sold

My angel is the centerfold

(Angel is the centerfold)

My blood runs cold (wooh)

My memory has just been sold

(My angel is the centerfold)

(Na, na, na...)

Alright, alright

1, 2, 3, 4

(Na, na, na...)

My blood runs cold

My memory has just been sold

My angel is the centerfold

Angel is the centerfold

My blood runs cold, oh yeah

My memory has just been sold

My angel is the centerfold

Angel is the centerfold
