Lovers In The City

Id never call this an unpleasant situation
Id 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, dont - now I havent heard it yet
Oh, dont - I havnt heard
But I know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is
And isnt
A lover in the city

I always thought I would be star bright
I always thought youd feel it too
But sometimes I have been making conversation
And I must catch myself
Before Im down
Im 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, dont - now I havent heard it yet
Oh, dont - I havnt heard
But I know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is
And isnt
A lover in the city

I swear
Im staking out the whole world
I swear
Im staking out the whole world
Im staking out the whole world

I could never entertain you
Id be far too scared to try
But sometimes I have been talking dumb
And I forget myself
And I forget myself
And dont ask, why?

Oh, dont - now I havent heard it yet
Oh, dont - I havnt heard
But I know them - and they are inclined to see
Just who is
And isnt
A lover in the city
