(Think you know the story but this one's different)
Meet Tommy, a family man
Doesn't do much or work, been dealt a comfortable hand
His family have given him the world up on a platter
Showered him with love and taught him how family's what matters
His friends often joke about what might catch his eye
But no one know that it would only take a couple lines
In the newspaper, a short piece about how this village girl
Had made her own brand in Italy and sold it around the world
Her story lingers and so, he writes a letter
States business and how they should meet in person to talk better
So now we meet Loretta, a lord of war to be reckoned with
Her family chucked her out when she was still only a kid, had
Nothing to her name until she made sure that she did
She built her own ground that she stands upon
She don't have time for this
Whilst this young gun is instantly besotted
Driven wild by this woman in a passion that he's spotted
She is interesting and sharp, dominant and level-headed
Don't need anything from anyone, this woman is a weapon
He makes his big advance but is instantly shot down as
She states, quite certain, she don't need people around
Especially not him, where's his passion and his drive?
Where's his longing for achievements that inspire or impride?
Her words landed like bullets in our Tommy's chest
He knew that now, he had some issues to address
Think you know the story but this one's different
Different touch, different times, different wisdoms
Different love, different us, different systems
If only these two had kept their distance
When you look at me, can you tell me what you see?
Can you tell me what this means?
So, he reflects upon this latest berating
And pretty instantly concludes that effort is worth making
She becomes his passion and her spirit builds his drive
His family and friends can barely believe their eyes
For the first time in forever, they see him come to life
And they want to meet the girl who has inspired this
Passion for success and money, ain't it funny?
Almost like Loretta made Tommy
This Chicago typewriter keeps typing his letters
Cooking up campaigns and deals to make her business better and
Time goes by, this weapon can't ignore
The change in this man as they talk more
She discoveres what it is to be loved
Until this time, she didn't know what that was
Tommy teaches tenderness, Loretta lets him in
That's how their romance begins
Think you know the story but this one's different
Different touch, different times, different wisdoms
Different love, different us, different systems
If only these two had kept their distance
When you look at me, can you tell me what you see?
Can you tell me what this means?
They become inseperable, soulmates, not just lovers
She lets her walls down like she has for no others, and
Shot by shot, they take over the world
With nothing to hold them back and no lessons to learn
Their confidence turns to arrogance and they start to shoot down
Every single person who don't agree with their plans
And as their successes grow they barely notice the world change as
Darkness, rivalries and wars begin to rage and
Tommy's family fears the pair have grown too strong
And worried the damage they've inflicted now can't be undone and
And so they plot on how to remove Loretta
In the hopes that it would make their boy better
And so one day, at the height of their fame, top of their game
She's giving talks on the stage
From in the wings, her love gives a wink and a wave
And in the crowd, she sees his family take aim
(Several gunshots sound)
(People scream)
She's screaming, bleeding out, she hears the shouting
And as she's running through this smokey jungle
On her knees, she's crouching, falling
Running, faster and faster, fast as she can go
Eyes swollen in her throat, so long she's scared that she might choke
But choking's nothing
Her love has torn her heart in two
She trusted him now he's gone and done what she feared he would do
Now he is running, and to say he is confused is an understatement
Never thought love for his family would so quickly turn to hatin'
Sheer panic courses through him as he searches for Loretta
For ever since he's met this woman
His whole life's been so much better
He sees a door and bustles through it desperately
And instantly, he sees his love and falls relieved onto his knees
He crawls towards her but she moves away
He gages what she's thinking and then goes to say but
She quickly interrupts him, as a tear rolls down her cheek
There is no way she is going to let him speak
She steadies her hand and pulls the trigger
(Gunshot sounds)
One last breath as his eyes flicker
She lays down with him and she cries at her loss
As his brother staggers in to find the target they lost
Tommy and Loretta had it all, love, fear and fortune
Makes it more painful when you fall
Ears ringing, she falls, defeated and weak
She curses Tommy and then kisses his cheek
Think you know the story but this one's different
Different touch, different times, different wisdoms
Different love, different us, different systems
If only these two had kept their distance
When you look at me, can you tell me what you see?
Can you tell me, can you tell me what this means?
