Lyrics
She said "Do you wanna go out tonight?"
"Runa round the town se the sights look at the lights?"
"And just spend some time"
"Listening to the sound of each others hearts beating"
"Just you and Me."
Well I said, "Idon't know if I really feel alright,
I've got this feeling that it's not quite
Really fair to you to do what we do
Though I could make it through,
I could never be true,
And I could never keep on thinking about you."
Chorus:
(And so she asked me, "Do you have somebody waiting for you'
Somebody who cares,
Somebody that wants to hold you but you're not there?"
And I said' "No, but I've got a pretty girl I really miss back home."
"Though I may never hold her tight she can hold my attention all night
just telling me all the things that are on her mind,
And that's just Fine.")
So we went out for a walk for a while,
She started to talk, it sort of made me smile,
Then it made me cry, but it wasn't cause of what she sid no you see
Everyday everyway anytime there's always something bout you that crosses my mind
(Chorus)
Then I go home and I sit on my floor and I think about the only one I adore
Then I head off to bed
Where I lay down my head
And I can fall asleep
Where my dreams can lie to me
Blissfully sweet.
(chorus)
