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
