| I’d never call this an unpleasant situation
|
| I’d never teach you how to lie
|
| But sometimes I have been walking numb
|
| And I must catch myself before I cry
|
| Before I cry
|
| I never call anything ugly
|
| I never call anything strange and alone
|
| I never want to, take things lightly
|
| Like they have never been my own
|
| Oh, don’t — now I haven’t heard it yet
|
| Oh, don’t — I havn’t heard
|
| But I know them — and they are inclined to see
|
| Just who is And isn’t
|
| A lover in the city
|
| I always thought I would be star bright
|
| I always thought you’d feel it too
|
| But sometimes I have been making conversation
|
| And I must catch myself
|
| Before I’m down
|
| I’m down on you
|
| I never think they would be scaring me Scared couples in the cold
|
| They look so fine in their eagerness
|
| I wonder to myself just how they know
|
| Oh, don’t — now I haven’t heard it yet
|
| Oh, don’t — I havn’t heard
|
| But I know them — and they are inclined to see
|
| Just who is And isn’t
|
| A lover in the city
|
| I swear
|
| I’m staking out the whole world
|
| I swear
|
| I’m staking out the whole world
|
| I’m staking out the whole world
|
| I could never entertain you
|
| I’d be far too scared to try
|
| But sometimes I have been talking dumb
|
| And I forget myself
|
| And I forget myself
|
| And don’t ask, why?
|
| Oh, don’t — now I haven’t heard it yet
|
| Oh, don’t — I havn’t heard
|
| But I know them — and they are inclined to see
|
| Just who is And isn’t
|
| A lover in the city |
