Lovers In The City Lyrics

I'd never call this an unpleasant situation

I'd 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, don't - now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't - I havn't heard

But I know them - and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city

I always thought I would be star bright

I always thought you'd feel it too

But sometimes I have been making conversation

And I must catch myself

Before I'm down

I'm 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, don't - now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't - I havn't heard

But I know them - and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city

I swear

I'm staking out the whole world

I swear

I'm staking out the whole world

I'm staking out the whole world

I could never entertain you

I'd be far too scared to try

But sometimes I have been talking dumb

And I forget myself

And I forget myself

And don't ask, why?

Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet

Oh, don't - I havn't heard

But I know them - and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isn't

A lover in the city
