We got half a life, we got half a dream

We got half a love, we got half a scheme

Always sitting in the darkness, I'll wait for you

Nervous of the neighbors, I'd like a hotel room

Cause I'm indiscreet, can't keep quiet

Heaven I don't know how

I can't go on seeing you like this

Give that knife just one more twist

This affair is really going to break my heart



Living half a life is better than nothing, half a dream

You know I can't keep quiet 'cause I'm indiscreet

I guess half a loaf leaves me feeling hungry

Half a glass, half a dream, half a life

Heaven I don't know how!

I can't go on seeing you like this

Give that knife just one more little twist

This affair is really going to break my heart



Let's call our friends! Let's go hang out! Let's go out dancing!

Let's jump and shout! Let's go be seen! Let's dress up chic!

Show we're in love! Right on our street!

Let's go out trashy! Let's go act cheap!

What does it matter what other people think?

Step in the bright lights!

Let's go act wild!

I want to show that you're mine all mine



Here's to freezing in the doorways, here's to taking separate taxis

To our stolen conversations, we're never seen together

Half a dream, half a life, heaven I don't know how!

But I can't go on seeing you like this!

Give that knife just one more little twist

This affair is really going to break my heart



I can't go on seeing you like this!

I can't go on seeing you like this!

I can't go on seeing you like this!

I can't go on seeing you like this!

Give that knife just one more little twist

I can't go on seeing you like this!

I can't go on seeing you like
