J.B. In Arabia (1984)
(Gold/Gouldman)

You’ve got a job to do
You’ve got to do it right
You’ve got to be a man
They’ve given you a gun
Said go and have some fun
You’re on the midnight run

You’re all alone in the desert
Espionage rendezvous
Waiting for something to happen
But they never gave you a clue
What to do
Over the dune appears

Beautiful girl draws near
The wind begins to moan
But unbeknownst to you
She’s got a job to do
Her ring’s a microphone
Above you the pyramid towers
Danger, intrigue and moonlight
Will agents of two foreign powers

Meet undercover tonight
Two lonely souls in the desert
Sharing this moment in time
Where air gets so cold in the desert
Back at 10 Downing Street
The PM’s on her feet

A statement to the Press
(Read All About It!)
Our man has let us down
He’s nowhere to be found
Now Whitehall’s in a mess
Meanwhile somewhere in the desert
Secrets are coming to light
Agents of two foreign powers
Meet undercover tonight

Johnny don't do it (1973)
(Creme/Godley/Gouldman)

Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny was an angel
An angel dressed in black
He used to hang around the guys
Down at the local track
He tried so hard to join them
But they always turned him back

Johnny don't do it
He was an angel
Johnny don't do it
Such an angel
He was only 17
Just got out of school
He stole a bike from Joe's garage
To prove that he was cool
He didn't know that the brakes were worn
And fate can be so cruel

Johnny don't do it
He was an angel
Johnny don't do it
Such an angel
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it

Well Johnny went a riding
With his girlfriend on the back seat
Looking for some action
And they found it down a back street
Suddenly a truck pulled out
He tried to step on the brake

Johnny don't do it (Here is a news flash)
Johnny don't do it (Today, Johnny Kowalski, also known as Johnny Angel)
Johnny don't do it (and his young fiance Francine, were tragically killed)
Johnny don't do it (in a cycle accident)
Don't do it, don't do it (any witnesses please contact)
Don't do it, don't do it (the police at Precinct 29)

Now Johnny's with the angels
The angels in the sky
I wonder if he thinks of us
As he goes riding by
If only had listened
Oh the number of times we tried
To tell him

Johnny don't do it
He was an angel
Johnny don't do it
Such an angel
Johnny don't do it
He was an angel
Johnny don't do it
Such an angel
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it
Johnny don't do it

Johnny hurts (2006)
(Godley/Gouldman)

He wanted me
to talk to you,
It’s something any friend would do.
Oh he’s out in the car with his head unscrewed
and I know he’ll be crying.

He’s not a bad man.
He’s not a child.
He’s just a little volatile
but he can take you where the four winds blow
and your heart melts ‘cause you know that…

Johnny’s got a poet in his heart.
He’s got an artist in his soul.
Too bad the drunk in Johnny’s body
is the only John you know.

It wasn’t love.
It wasn’t hate.
Or something you premeditate.
Oh he was getting drunk
and it was getting late.
Please let me call a doctor.

He could stop the shouting
and all the noise
of Johnny’s heavy party boys
all trying to take you where the four winds blow
and Elvis was singing Love Me Tender.

There’s a poet in his heart.
He’s got an artist in his soul.
Too bad the drunk in Johnny’s body
Is the only John you know.

But you could turn the light on.
Turn on the light
You could turn the light on.
Turn on the light
But if you don’t want to turn it on…
we’ll talk in the dark.

Must feel like your world is ending.
And I wish I could make it all… Johnny
go away.
I’m not trying to defend him
but I’m begging you
to stay… For Johnny

You say you love him
but don’t you know
what a sad kind of loving this is?
How come you still want him so
if you’re getting kicks instead of kisses?

Come away with me.
Move away with me.

He’ll want to hold you… Always
He’ll want to comfort you
and talk away everything he’s done… Always
Then he’ll take you where the four winds blow.
Blow by blow by blow
‘til you say…

He’s got a poet in his heart.
He’s got an artist in his soul.
Too bad the drunk in Johnny’s body
is the only John you know.

But you could turn the light on.
Turn on the light
Oh, you could turn the light on.
Turn on the light

But if you don’t want to be the one
To turn it on…

We’ll talk in the dark.
…the drunk in Johnny
We’ll talk in the dark.
Too bad the drunk in Johnny
We’ll talk in the dark.
Too bad the drunk in Johnny
Too bad the drunk in Johnny’s body
Is the only John.

Just another day (1999)
(Gouldman/Claudio Guidetti/Frank Musker)

She leaves the note upon the dresser by the door
Gets in her car and starts to drive
And for the first time in so many years
She feels that she's alive

As from today her life will never be the same
No longer just somebody's wife
Today is precious it's the first day
Of the rest of her life

Just another day
You been waiting for a life too long
Just another day
Another chance that never came along
Never found a way never herad the call
Just another day that's what you thought
But you were wrong
You been waiting for a life too long

As the millennium was drawing to a close
Something was coming to an end
One one two thousand seemed a good day
To begin her life again

He reads the letter now the thunderbolt has struck
His feet are rooted to the ground
He thought his life would never come unstuck
But look around

CHORUS

One one two thousand we'll never be the same again
Takes love for granted he doesn't know what's real or pretend
She takes some money from their joint account and cries
She's kissed the past goodbye
Here's to a brand new life

CHORUS

The King Of Showbizz(1998)
(Gold/Gouldman)

Everybody needs someone who loves them
Needs a storybook romance to star in
I’m no different, I need someone too
She doesn’t have to be the new Jean Harlow
Just somebody who’ll be there where I go
One who loves me like I’m loving you
I don’t live to be the king of showbiz
That’s not my ideal of what success is
All I need’s a leading lady to get me through the day
I don’t have to be the toast of Broadway
People hanging on each word that I say
All I really want is good reviews from you
When we’re together it’s as good as candy
Love that’s warmer than a late night movie
No pretending, happy endings too
Keep you sheltered from the stormy weather
A double feature that will run forever
Into the sunset riding side by side

I don’t live to be the king of showbiz
That’s not my ideal of what success is
All I need’s a leading lady to get me through the day
I don’t have to be the toast of Broadway
People hanging on each word that I say
All I really want is good reviews from you
I don’t have to be the king of showbiz
That’s not my ideal of what success is
All I need’s a leading lady to get me through the day
I don’t have to be the toast of Broadway
People hanging on each word that I say
All I need’s a leading lady to get me through the day
I don’t have to be the king of showbiz
That’s not my ideal of what success is
All I really want is good reviews from you

L.A. Inflatable (1980)
(Gouldman/Stewart)

Oh well her skin it was softer than velvet
And her eyes were as bright as a child's
Her lips were a promising picture
Warm and celluloid
But her words had me thinkin' too deeply
The meaning be-lying her face
Made me look just a little bit closer
Between the lines

L.A. smiles to hide the frown
L.A. promises to follow you down
L.A. teeth, and L.A. hair
L.A. curves that shouldn't be there
They really shouldn't be there

She said you've got to be seen at the Roxy
The strippers will know who we are
But you've got to be seen to be happy
You're a Tinseltown Star
You're going upwards and downwards and sideways
Man you're really caught up in a dream
With your head burning under the starlight
From the studio scene

L.A. smiles to hide the frown
L.A. promises to follow you down
L.A. teeth, and L.A. hair
L.A. curves that shouldn't be there
They really shouldn't be there

L.A. inflatable, she never says no
L.A. insatiable, you don't have to go
L.A. charisma

Well she knows all the famous musicians
Sometimes she sees how they play
And when the back stage passes are going
She really knows how to pay
She's a product of rock 'n' roll livin'
She's a victim of Hollywood hate
She's a soul survivor
She's the midnight special
Gonna lay you to waste

L.A. smiles to hide the frown
L.A. promises to follow you down
L.A. teeth, and L.A. hair
L.A. curves that shouldn't be there
They really shouldn't be there

Last Night (1978)
(Fenn/Gouldman)

Last night
You know you really really
made me appreciate my life
When you took me to the seventh floor
And closed the door
I didn't stand a chance
Oh oh that night
When my conscience was losing
in that age old fight
Now I've always been a non-believer
A true deceiver
A hit and run romance

Don't you know that when we turned out the light
We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave
Like we were ships in the night
Going nowhere
Last night
When the feeling was missing
but the mood was right
From the moment we took the floor
I knew for sure

We'd play the parts we're expected to
I've done it so many times
Man we're all inmates of the human zoo
Our bodies in control of our minds
I played the jester and you played the fool
You kept forgetting your lines
I had to prompt you with a bourbon or two
Huh, you planned to come all the time

But when we turned out the light
We were riding on the crest of a tidal wave
Like we were ships in the night
Going nowhere (nowhere)
Oh last night
You know you really really
gave me something to write about
In the morning it was just the same
I'd lost again
But it won't take me long to forget
Oh oh last night

The last time I fell in love (1997)

The way we met was accidental
I felt the spark of something special
Something that happened naturally
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
The third time we could not resist
It happened like this

The last time I fell in love
Every day since I have known her
In every way we've grown closer
And maybe now it's time to change her name
Woah, oh oh
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
The third time we could not resist
It happened like this

The last time I fell in love
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
The third time we could not resist
It happened like this
The last time I fell in love
I remember those hungry nights
When we played in the dark
Making love in our paradise
Lying heart to heart, lying heart to heart
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
The third time we could not resist
It happened like this

The last time I fell in love
The first time we were nervous and shy
The second time she was curious and so was I
You know we could not resist
And it ain't love like this
It's the last time I fell in love
The first time
The second time she was curious and so was I
You know we could not resist

Lazybones (1997)

Yeah
You lay in bed all day, a lonely hideaway
You're a lazybones
Hum and name this tune, waste the afternoon
You're a lazybones
Oh you're a lazybones
A-dreaming 'bout a life of ease
Whistling while reality goes creeping by
Mm mmm

Living in the crouch of lying on the couch
You're a lazybones (he's so lazy)
The hero brave and bold with the remote control
You're a lazybones (so la-a-azy)
Oh you're a lazybones
Climbing up the Eiffel tower
Hanging round the clouds for hours until you fall
Oh oh

Mmm opportunity lost in fantasy
You're a lazybones (he's so lazy)
Living on the line, a legend in your mind
You're a lazybones
Woah oh you're a lazybones
A man without a purpose here
Helpless as those nameless fears come closing in
Oh oh

Yes you are ooh yup
Lazybones nothing but a lazybones
Drifting in the twilight zone
Yes you are a lazybones
Come in

Lazybones nothing but (yes you're lazy) but a lazybones
(The future's hazy) talking about a lazybones
Nothing but a lazybones
Lazybones, talking (oh just a hideaway) 'bout a lazybones
Nothing but a lazybones
Talking 'bout (oh oh) a lazybones (just a hideaway)
Lazybones nothing but a lazybones
Talking 'bout a lazybones
Nothing but (you know you want to yes) a lazybones
I'll go take a little nap. Yawn!

Lemon and Lime (1966)
(Graham Gouldman)

Mr Brown: Lemon and lime
Turn of the time
Or five for a couple of bob.
Good for a cold
You'll never grow old
For wheezing there just the job.

Around the corner
In the market square
Thats the spot to make your pitch.
Around the corner
Put your barrel there
That the place where you'll get rich.

Carrots and spuds

They're lovely, ripe and sweet.
Let it out loud
Pull a big crowd
To value they can't be beat.

Around the corner
In the market square
Thats the spot to make your pitch.

Leck: Around the corner
Put your barrel there
That's the place where you'll get rich.

Pippens with pips

Polish the peel
And put the good one's up front.
Around the corner
In the market square
Thats the spot to make your pitch.

Put your barrel there
That's the place where you'll get rich.

Mr Brown: Peas in their pods
Never lay odds

Make the game pay
Tell them what they want to hear
Serve with a smile
Cut for the pile
After you've sold the idea.

Mr Brown & Herman: Lemon and lime
Turn of the time
Or five for a couple of bob.
Good for a cold
You'll never grow old
For wheezing there just the job.

Around the corner
In the market square
Thats the spot to make your pitch.
Around the corner
Put your barrel there
That the place where you'll get riiiiich.

Let’s Have Some Lunch Sometime (1998)
(Gold/Gouldman)

Let’s go down to Malibu, watch the sunset
I call you up, I say let’s get together,
Oh can we go to a show, is it yes or no oh, oh, oh
I’m only asking, baby, for a simple answer
But every time I do, you give me gobbledegook
Just like this…

Let’s have some lunch sometime
Could we touch base
I appreciate your input, baby
Just call my agent, I can relate to that
No sweat…

I left a message on his phone machine
He never called me back
A typical lack of courtesy
So I drove to his house somewhere in Beverley Hills
And he was out by the pool
And he said
Let me invade your space
Let me bounce this off you
??? ???
Of course she’ll call you
We’ll take a meeting and have a real nice day

Ciao baby
Why don’t you talk right, like a normal human being
Cuz I’m finding you hard to understand
Just look at this moonlight
It’s going to waste now, baby
We should be kissing
Listen, don’t talk at all
Miss sincerely
You’re a beautiful human being, don’t change

Let’s have some lunch sometime
Could we touch base
I appreciate your input, baby
Just call my agent, I can relate to that
Ciao baby
Let me invade your space
Let me bounce this off you
Put one on one
If it suits you, maybe

Let’s take a meeting soon and
Have a real nice day
Ciao baby, ciao baby
Totally, for sure, a beautiful life
Don’t ever change, you’re beautiful

The lie (1997)

Since you've been gone I've had a good time
Enjoying freedom every day
Doing the things you never let me do
The things that got in my own way woah oh
It's such a picture of perfection

Don't have to answer when you call
Don't have to be the one to hold your hand
In fact there's no-one there at all
Outside your protection
I lost my direction
I need your affection oh oh
You cured my affliction
You fixed my addiction

Come back and help me turn this feeling down
I call, I phone, you say "I told you so!"
My fault, my fault, my fault
Without you here it's nice and quiet (quiet quiet quiet)
You can't disturb my peace of mind
I never get upset at all these days
'Cause nothing happens all the time

Outside your protection
I lost my direction
I need your affection oh oh
You cured my affliction
You fixed my addiction
Come back and help me turn this feeling down
I call, I phone, you say "I told you so!"
My fault, my fault

Outside your protection
I lost my direction
I need your affection oh oh
You cured my affliction
You fixed my addiction
Come back and help me turn this feeling down

Life Line (1978)
(Gouldman)

Ten thousand miles away from someone
Ten thousand miles away from you
Who's your friend on the end of a telephone line
A telephone line's like a life line
You run me cool you run me hot love
You take me where I wanna be
Ship to shore, air to land
Seems it's always the same
I always end up with a lame brain

Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Dont' got talkin' in your sleep no
Don't go givin' it all away
Don't go walkin' in your sleep no
You're ten thousand miles away

Livin' it up in the paradiso
Don't make it right, don't make it wrong
When you know you've got a friend
who's at the other end
And a telephone line's like a life line

But a walk on the wire
It don't put out no fire
A telephone line's like a life line

When you wake you'll find me sleepin'
The clock don't stop when you're not here
But you know you've got a friend
Who's at the other end
And a telephone line's like a life line
A telephone line is a life line

Listen People (1966)
(Gouldman)

Listen people to what I say
I say everybody's got to have their day

And don't you know that
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
Everybody's got to win a heart
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
When you do, I hope you never part

I once found love, found love just like you
But then he came, he might come to you

And don't you know that
Everybody's got to lose somebody sometime
But everybody can part
Everybody's got to lose somebody sometime
So take care that you don't lose your heart

Take my advice and you'll always find
You'll be happy all of the time
Take my advice and you will see
You'll be happy as you can be

Listen people to what I say
I say everybody's got to have their day

And don't you know that
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
Everybody's got to win a heart
Everybody's got to love somebody sometime
When you do, I hope you never part
You never part
Listen people
Listen people

Listen With Your Eyes (1981)
(Gouldman/Stewart)

I don't need no special things to get me high
All I needs a touch of Ron to get me by
I see people travelling, never make a move
I don't follow my leader, needles in the groove
I don't like sitar, it don't touch guitar
People selling me heaven, praying to the sky
I don't read their message
Listen with your eyes
Listen with your eyes
Listen with your eyes (I love it)

You've had a hustling day
Your life's roundabout anyway
I got my feet on the ground
That doesn't mean I don't get around
I get up on tops and down on Mr. Blue
I love to see a daybreak
It's not a chemical wide awake
I like a rub in the tub
I never want to pull out the plug
I get up on tops and down on Mr. Blue
Mr. Blue!

People search the dailies, live by horoscope
Looking for direction, don't they get the joke
I won't fear the reaper, when the curtain falls
I'm not vegetating, waiting for the call
I don't like sitar, it don't touch guitar
Wake up to the future, you should make your plans
Dreams are made in heaven, life is in your hands
Life is in your hands
Life is in your hands
Life is in your hands

London Look (1966)
(Graham Gouldman)

I saw her in Piccadilly
She had an air …un savoir-faire*
Her blue eyes were rather chilling
But I asked her if she’d care…

…To join me and we’d go places
And hear the sound of London town
To see all the different faces
All living under Queen and crown.

To see the country vicars and the city slickers
Pearly kings and noble dukes
Everybody moving, everybody grooving
They’ve all got the London look

We sat down, got tired of walking
We said we’d meet, it was so sweet
Then we kissed and gave up talking
And then we left for old Bond Street

To see the country vicars and the city slickers
Pearly kings and noble dukes
Everybody moving, everybody grooving
They’ve all got the London look

Oh, the sights were so enchanting
The bells of Bow chimed ‘la-di-do’
Those blue eyes became entrancing
I told her that I loved her so…

Lone soldier (1997)

One step forward and two steps back
This train we ride always jumps the track
The left hand gives but the right hand takes
Soon as one thing’s fixed, another one breaks
Woah oh when the chips are down
You just can’t give it up you gotta turn it around
Might have to walk alone
With no-one on your side
Make the pieces fit, it’s a matter of pride
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, ‘cause they don’t take no prisoners
One day smiles, the next day frowns
‘Cause what goes up must come down
I need to see the doctor but the doctor’s ill
Something came along like you know it will
Woah oh don’t you run away
Face it face to face, could be your lucky day
Put your pie in the sky and your head in the sand
Don’t let the hand of fate push you around
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, ‘cause they don’t take no prisoners
Lone soldier, lone soldier
I told you sound the battle cry
Lone soldier, war’s not over
It’s on your shoulders
Let your victory colours fly
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, ‘cause they don’t take no prisoners
You gotta march straight on, lone soldier
Beat your drum, lone soldier
You gotta stand your ground, lone soldier
Yeah, ‘cause they don’t take no prisoners
Lone soldier, lone soldier
Lone soldier, yeah

Look Through Any Window (1965)
(Gouldman/Silverman)

Look through any window, yeah
What do you see?
Smiling faces all around,
Rushing through the busy town.
Where do they go?
Moving on their way,
Walking down highways and the by-ways
Where do they go?
Moving on their way,
People with their shy ways and their sly ways

Oh, you can see the little children all around.
Oh, you can see the little ladies in their gowns, when you
Look through any window, yeah,
Any time of day
See the drivers on the roads
Pulling down their heavy loads
Where do they go?
Moving on their way,
Driving down highways and the byways
Where do they go?
Moving on their way,
Drivers with their shy ways and their sly ways

Oh, you can see the little children all around.
Oh, you can see the little ladies in their gowns, when you
Look through any window, yeah,
What do you see?
Smiling faces all around,
Rushing through the busy town.
Where do they go?
Moving on their way
Moving on their way
Moving on their way

Lost In Love (1992)
(Gouldman/Stewart)

A far bit beyond this place
All the stars have been cast
You may try to resist the pace
But it's happening too fast
The desire is so strong
Yeah you got to concede
There's no way to escape from the trap
We are slaves to our needs

And we're lost in love
[Y'say] We're lost in our love and we can't find a way
And we're lost in love
[Say it] We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay together
Whoa, heart to heart, forever
Whoa, heart to heart, together
Whoa, heart to heart
Heart to heart

The stage has been set tonight
And the die has been cast
Curtain up and the music begins
Oh the audience cares?
Tragedy is feelin'
For the rest of your days
Nothing will ever compare to the thrill of the stage

And we're lost in love
[I'm sayin'] We're lost in our love and we can't find a way [baby, baby]
Lost in love [no, no]
[Sayin'] We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay together
Whoa, heart to heart, forever
Whoa, heart to heart, together
Whoa, heart to heart
Heart to heart

Curtain will fall at the end of the day
Guardian angels will kill for their pay
Impossible dreams have to end
Let the crowd disappear, we've got nothing to fear
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we can't find a way
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Lost in love
Lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Lost in love
Lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Lost in love
Lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Together, whoa
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we can't find a way
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Together, whoa
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we can't find a way
We're lost in love
We're lost in our love and we're destined to stay
Together, whoa
[Repeat to fade]

Lovers Anonymous (1980)
(Gouldman/Stewart)

Doctor, I'm getting in deeper
Show me, the way I can slow myself down
You can talk me round
I'm a fool for falling in love again
You've gotta save me
Take away the temptation
Wake me up when its over
Oh yeh, you've gotta talk me down
Talk me down

I'm calling Lovers Anonymous
You talk about your troubles
And we throw you a line

Doctor, its draining my body

Take away the temptation
Wake me up when its over
Oh yeh, you've gotta talk me down
You've gotta talk me down

I'm calling Lovers Anonymous
I'm calling Lovers Anonymous
You talk about your troubles
And we throw you a line

Call us up, we will answer night 'n' day
Talk to us, we're the ones who found the way
Doctor, its happened again, please
Help me, she's moving me more than a friend
And I'm heading for trouble
It's heaven again

You've gotta save me
Take away the temptation
Wake me up when it's over
Oh yeh, you've gotta talk me down
You've gotta talk me down
I'm calling Lovers Anonymous
Talk about your troubles
And we throw you a line
I'm calling Lovers Anonymous
Talk about your troubles
And we throw you a line

Love's Not For Me (Rene's Song) (1980)
(Gouldman)

I've always run away
From things that tie me down
My life I live
But love's not for me

I see my goal ahead
With nothing in the way
If love should come
Then I'll run away

I've always been the kind of man
Who's dedicated to his course
And it's a lonely road to run
But I'll stay faithful to my course
There's only one direction

There comes a time when you must choose
About the path you're gonna take
And you must take it win or lose
And if you lose it's your mistake
There's only one direction

So when the race is won
And there's nothing left to do
Alone again but where are you
Alone again but where are you

Love Tonight
(Gold/Gouldman/Mike Botts)

Wind chimes tinkling on my window sill
Moonbeams drifting through my mind
Smoke rings floating up across the room
Stars are twinkling in my eyes
Two hearts beating to the radio
Laying softly side by side
The song's a sparkling kaleidoscope
It's outta sight

Now everything's groovy and right
'Cause we found love tonight
Early morning in a sunshine dream
Tripping through a wonderland
Skipping barefoot in a nature scene
Gently she will take my hand
Counting all the cotton candy clouds
Dancing through the summer sky
On the grass the sun is melting down
It's outta sight

Now everything's groovy and right
And we'll find love tonight
It's no use thinking you'll be taming her
'Cause she lives only for today
Build no cages for this crystal bird
Tomorrow she may fly away
For now it's outta sight
Everything's groovy and right
'Cause we found love tonight
"...Oh man it's like the world is melting"
"...Yes it is a little bit disorienting"

Lying Here With You (1981)
(Gouldman)

Time to wave the day goodbye
But I don't wanna hear no lullaby
Sandman takes his cue
And when the night is through
I'll be lying here with you

Close your eyes turn out the light
Say a prayer to see us through the night
Hope your dreams come true
When dawn turns into blue
I'll be lying here with you

Too much of something
Tends to spoil you so they say
But I can't get enough of you
I tell you something
I never listen to what they say
I only know what I must do

All our cares will drift away
Leave them all until another day
I don't really mind
As long as I can find
That I'm lying here with you

Too much of something
Tends to spoil you so they say
But I can't get enough of you
I tell you something
I never listen to what they say
I only know what I must do
All our cares will drift away
Leave them all until another day
I don't really mind
As long as I can find
That I'm lying here with you
