Television light
Shining through a hundred bedroom windows
I was out last night
Walking all around the streets that we know
Tales to tell are behind every door
No two are quite the same
You and I know a few of our own, that's for sure
Days and days have gone
But I still clearly can remember
a crowded avenue
on a Monday evening in November
On our way to your old place downtown
You held my hand tight
There was light and laughter and music all around
What I wouldn't wish for nearly came true
to throw your love away
was what I didn't want to do
It's written on my heart, the way I feel for you
to make your bitter tears fall
was what I didn't want to do
what I didn't want to do
Television light
Shining through a hundred bedroom windows
I was out last night
Walking all around the streets that we know
Sometimes love will bring you down one day
Then back up another day
Make you right, make you wrong, make you do it anyway
What I didn't wish for nearly came true
to throw your love away
was what I didn't want to do
I truly realize now what I already knew
to make your bitter tears fall
was what I didn't want to do
What I didn't want to do
Sometimes love will bring you down one day, and back up another day
make you right, make you wrong, make you do it anyway
What I wouldn't wish for, nearly came true
to throw your love away, was what I didn't want to do
It's written on my heart, the way I feel for you
to make your bitter tears fall, was what I didn't want to do
what I didn't want to do
The night was black rain fallin' down
Looked for my baby she's no where around
I traced her footsteps down to the shore
Afraid she's gone for ever more
I looked at the sea, and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' from the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
Why did we quarrel why did we fight
Why did I leave her alone tonight
That's why her foot steps ran into to the sea
That's why my baby has gone from me
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
I took your baby from you away
I heard a voice cryin' from the deep
Come join me baby in my endless sleep
I ran in the water heart full of fear
There in the break I saw her near
I reached for my darlin' held her to me
I stole her away from the angry sea
I looked at the sea and it seemed to say
You took your baby from me away
My heart cried out she's mine to keep
I saved my baby from an endless sleep
Well I'm a goin' out
I'm goin' out lookin' for a cynical girl
Who's got no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Ah well I hate TV
There's gotta be somebody other than me
Who's ready to write it off immediately
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
I'll know right away by the look in her eyes
She harbors no illusions and she's worldly-wise
And I'll know when I give her a listen that she
Is what I've been missin'
What I've been missin'
I'll be lost in love
And havin' some fun with my cynical girl
Who'll have no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Yeah well I'm a goin' out
I'm goin' out lookin' for a cynical girl
She's got no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
I'll know right away by the look in her eyes
She harbors no illusions and she's worldly-wise
And I'll know when I give her a listen that she
Is what I've been missin'
What I've been missin'
I'll be lost in love
And havin' some fun with my cynical girl
We'll have no use for the real world
I'm lookin' for a cynical girl
Only a month gone by now and rumors start to fly
Well I heard your name and I felt so defenseless
Now we're one on one in the light of the setting sun
You say it was nothing that I'd done
you were just restless
Well tell me all about it
Did you grab somebody new?
Tell me all about it
Does he love you better than I do?
It's all a little clouded, this just came right out of the blue
On second thought maybe I don't want you
to tell me all about it
Tangled hands and feet
all the words you whispered sweet
It's all coming back now incomplete
Did you just fake it?
Now I do believe
that it's just like Adam learned with Eve
People can hide things up their sleeve
even when naked
aww Tell me all about it
Did you grab somebody new?
Tell me all about it
Does he love you like I do?
It's all a little clouded
this just came out of the blue
on second thought maybe I don't want you
to tell me all about it
My mind's in an uproar
I don't know what to do or say
I've been just like this all day
guess I left myself wide open
can't believe that it's gone this way
Now I do believe
that it's just like Adam learned with Eve
People can hide things up their sleeve
even when naked
aww tell me all about it
Have you got somebody new?
Tell me all about it
Does he love you like I do?
It's all a little clouded
this just came right out of the blue
on second thought maybe I don't want you
to tell me all about it
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you need
Sometimes you lose what you thought you had
That's a real bad deal indeed
But when you're angry at life itself
Having another bad hair day
Don't judge yourself so brutally
I can't stand it when you talk that way
Oh baby, baby
Better back off of that stuff
You'd better take it slow
I know you know
That you're talking about someone I love
Did you say what I think I heard?
Did you mean what I think you said?
Why don't you redirect your rage
Onto somebody else's head
Now, we all have to walk that line
Between sorrow and happiness
Come on over here and take my hand
Won't you please give us both a rest?
Oh now baby, baby
Better back off of that stuff
You'd better take it slow
I know you know
That you're talking about someone I love
And I said baby, baby
I've heard enough
'Cause I know you will come through
And you know it too
You're talking about someone I love
Plane on the runway, rain falling down
I've gotta be the most broken heart in town
Lookin' out at the window at the black clouds in the sky
So lonesome I could die
We had romance, adventure and fun
Then we told each other it was over and done
But I had just one thing on my mind since then
running to see her again
I want to talk to my little wild one
and I want to rock with my little wild one
All my life is a hollow display
When I'm away from my little wild one
She moves, she's a little wild one
Right down to her shoes, she's a little wild one
I've been living in my own little hell
Since I fell for my little wild one
Plane on the runway, in the new morning sun
Never should have told her that we both ought to move on
Never should have told her because you know it does not pay
to let a good thing slip away
Should I dial her number, or turn and walk away?
It makes no difference, I'm her fool any old way
But I know in my heart everything will be right
When I hold her tonight
I wanna carry on with my little wild one
Make love till dawn with my little wild one
All my life is a hollow display
When I'm away from my little wild one
Yeah when she moves, she's a little wild one
Right down to her shoes, she's a little wild one
I've been living in my own little hell
Since I fell for my little wild one
And we had romance, adventure and fun
Never should have told her it was over and done
But I know in my heart everything will be right
when I hold her tonight
Well, I'm wanna talk to my little wild one
Yeah and I wanna rock with my little wild one
All my life is a hollow display
When I'm away from my little wild one
I wanna carry on with my little wild one
Make love 'till dawn with my little wild one
I've been living in my own little hell
Since I fell for my little wild one
Just last night when we were in bed
This thought came into my head
I would give anything girl
If I could steal a look into your secret world
What do you dream of?
Oh now what do you dream of?
I'll never know what really lies
Behind your sleeping eyes
What do you dream of?
Oh now what do you dream of?
Can you leave your worldly cares behind
Or do they rule your mind
When I see you smile, then I've got a reason to smile
Oh what do you dream of?
I wonder once in a while
Close your eyes you know it feels fine
To let yourself finally unwind
From fighting hard to stay in the game
For all your trouble and time, you're getting more of the same
What do you dream of?
Oh what do you dream of?
When you're in a world that's yours alone
Another day is gone
What do you dream of?
Oh now what do you dream of?
You're keepin' your secrets to yourself
They're meant for no one else
I'll never solve all of your mysteries
Oh now what do you dream of?
While you're lying next to me
Wish I could steal a look into your secret world
What do you dream of?
Oh, what do you dream of?
Baby I'll never know what really lies
Behind your sleeping eyes
What do you dream of?
Oh what do you dream of?
When you're in a world that's yours alone
Another day is gone
I'll never solve all of your mysteries
Oh what do you dream of?
While you're lying next to me
Whenever I see you smile
Then I've got a reason to smile
Oh now what do you dream of?
I wonder once in a while
Well I saw her Sunday
Down by the Breakers
She drove right by me
I was stunned to realize
That she was riding with
That dime-a-dozen guy
First they're at the Forum
And then they're at the drive-in
I asked my buddies
And they all said "It's no lie
She's tearin' up the town
With that dime-a-dozen guy"
Guess I was thoughtless, careless too
I disappeared on her it's true
Well now I realize I wasted something
That I cared about
That's why I'm blue
Well he's not good-looking
At least I don't think so
I just can't figure
Any earthly reason why
A girl like her would choose
That dime-a-dozen guy
Is there something about him
That my eyes aren't seeing?
If I'm not mistaken
Then there's no way to deny
That I've been left in the dust
For a dime-a-dozen guy
Right now it's feeling pretty grim
To hang my heart out on this limb
Now I realize I wasted something
That I cared about
And she's with him
I saw her Sunday
down by the Breakers
She drove right past me
and smiled as she rode by
Another girl in love
With a dime-a-dozen guy
I watch you cross the street among the midday crowd
You wouldn't hear me if I called your name so I wait
I love to be downtown, that's where the good times are
and when your eyes find mine I see that look on your face
Every once in a while I know something to be nothing else but true
And right here and now I really love you
truly, madly, deeply I do
We catch the silver skyline reflected on the water
The autumn air is filled with memories and possibilities
And how the hours fly by, cause life is all around us
So much to talk and laugh about between you and me
Oh yeah it feels so fine to know you got something more
than what you might dream of
And right here and now I know that I'm
truly, madly, deeply in love
uh huh
I love to be downtown, that's where the good times are
and when your eyes find mine I see that look on your face
Every once in a while I know something to be nothing else but true
And right here and now I really love you
truly, madly, deeply I do
Well it feels so fine to know you got something more
than what you might dream of
Yeah right here and now I know that I'm
truly, madly, deeply in love
I think about you and forget what I've tried to be
Everything is foggy and hard to see
It seems to be, but can it be, a fantasy?
Whenever I think about you, strangers eyes in the crowd flash past
I go on and think of the fate you've cast
It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me
Whenever you're on my mind
Whenever you're on my mind
I leave the world behind
Whenever you're on my mind
I think about you and I'm weak though I'm in my prime
Set my watch and still lose track of time
It seems to be, but can it be, a fantasy?
Whenever I think about you, strangers eyes in the crowd flash past
I go on and think of the fate you've cast
It seems to be a reverie, you're here with me
Whenever you're on my mind
Whenever you're on my mind
I leave the world behind
Whenever you're on my mind
I never thought I'd be in this situation
It seems wherever I go I'm with you
And though I never seem to find my place
At every turn I see your face
Whenever I think about you
Oh it seems to be a reverie, you're here with me
Whenever you're on my mind
Whenever you're on my mind
I leave the world behind
Whenever you're on my mind...
From my window nearly everyday
I see that girl go on down the highway
And I think she's trying to catch my eye
Standing alone I see her drive on by
There she goes again with another guy
She was my girl not too long ago
How I lost her I'm well I'm not sure I know
But it makes no difference how I try
Get a blue feeling when she drives on by
There she goes again with another guy
It's a sad situation
But I know just what I ought to do
I'm gonna find someone better
Go have fun little girl I can live without you
I'll be stronger when she's off my mind
I hope she finds what she's been tryin' to find
And as life goes on and time goes by
Will her heart ever be satisfied
There she goes again with another guy
Now I can't stand to see you sad
I can't bear to hear you cry
If you can't tell me what you need
All I can do is wonder why
Someday, someway aww
Someday, someway, now now
Someday, someway
Maybe I'll understand you
After all you've done for me
All I really want to do
Is take the love you brought my way
And give it all right back to you
Someday, someway
Someday, someway now now
Someday, someway
Maybe you'll understand me
You've taken everything from me
I've taken everything from you
And I'll love you for my whole life through
After all you've done for me
All I really want to do
Is take the love you brought my way
And give it all back to you
Someday, someway aww
Someday, someway, well now now
Someday, someway maybe you'll understand me
You've taken everything from me
I've taken everything from you
And I'll love you for my whole life through
I can't stand to see you sad
I can't bear to hear you cry
If you can't tell me what you need
All I can do is wonder why
