Lyrics

On My Television
Lyrics and music by Winston Apple

I have spent so many nights here with you (on my television)
I have fallen in love with your image as presented (on my television)
And now I'm dreaming of you day and night
And in my dreams I hold you tight
Yeah, in my dreams I'm with you on my television

I know I'm living in a dream world, out of touch with reality
I've been selling everything I own except my DVD (player) (and my television)
I'm gonna take all the money, gonna give it to you
There's just one thing I want you to do
I want you to be with me on my TV (on my television)

It's a long shot: we're walking on the beach
Cut to a close-up of you and me
You look in my eyes and it's plain to see how you feel about me
(I love you so)
We kiss. We embrace
We make love in romantic places
It's a dream come true, honey, I've got you on my television
On my TV
Yeah, you’re on my television, I’ve got you here with me on my TV

I'm a video junkie, Lord, I know it's true
I've gotten hooked on the image of me and you (on my television)
Making love over and over and over again (on my television)
I’ve made some back-up copies, so this love of ours will never end
I can get a fix day or night
I can turn you on any time I like
I can bathe in the tender glow of the love you pretend to feel for me
On my TV!

Now I don't have to wait for you to appear (on my television)
All I have to do is press "play" and you are here (on my television)
It's not a normal kind of love, I know it's a little weird
Still, I keep on pressing “play” and we appear (on my television)
You know it feels so good it’s almost like you’re here
Yes, it feels so good having you here (on my television)
