Watching You Lyrics

That's a good question

 Why am I standing out here alone

 I guess I don't know enough to come in from the rain

 I was watching your window

 From here below

 I think I just might stay here all day

 Cause I gotta do something

 

 If I can't love you

 I don't want to love you

 If I can't hold you

 I don't want to be thinking of you

 And if you don't want me

 I don't want to want you

 And if you won't see me

 I don't know what to do

 But oh keep watching you

 Until I see right through

 Oh I keep watching you

 

 You could throw me down a cigarette

 I smoked my last one quite a while ago

 No, I gave it to the man that swore he had no need

 You know sometimes if I listen real close

 I can hear the dark side of the moon

 And there's always yesterday's Times if I care to read

 And I gotta do something

 

 If I can't love you

 I don't want to love you

 If I can't hold you

 I don't want to be thinking of you

 And if you don't want me

 I don't want to want you

 And if you won't see me

 I don't know what to do

 But oh keep watching you

 Until I see right through

 Oh I keep watching you

 

 Sure I'm alright

 No I'm not very cold

 Every now and then I can feel the subway heat

 So go on inside

 I'll leave you alone

 Anyway Bogart's on in the window down the street

 And I gotta do something

 

 If I can't love you

 I don't want to love you

 If I can't hold you

 I don't want to be thinking of you

 And if you don't want me

 I don't want to want you

 And if you won't see me

 I don't know what to do

 But oh keep watching you

 Until I see right through

 Oh I keep watching you
