He put so much into her life
She took so much out of his
It was a crucial assignment
No one ever asked for this

It was a little confusin'
He thought, he knew what to do
But now they're walkin' in silence
Little girl and soldier blue

Well, she wrote you a song, sayin' that she approved
But you didn't understand
And when love comes along, it's just a catcher in the rye
It's hard to make those long term plans

Well, it's the code of love
You don't understand her
Well, it's the code of love
You could never ask for more
You could never ask for more

They made a certain agreement
He's bound to do what he's told
He ran back home with the message
Screwed up in a pocket cold
She sat at home with her reason
A sour note and a tear
But love comes home for the season
Breakin' down the walls of fears

Well, she wrote you a song sayin' that she approved
But you didn't understand
And when love comes along, it's just a catcher in the rye
It's hard to make those long term plans

Well, it's the code of love
You don't understand her
Well, it's the code of love
You could never ask for more
You could never ask for more

Well, it's the code of love
You don't understand her
Well, it's the code of love
You don't understand her

Code of love
Code of love
Code of love
