nothing much to do but watch the rain

sunday morning all alone again

so i ring you up for consolation

hop the underground i'll meet you at the station

i've got a little game that we can play

i've saved it specially for a rainy day

we don't even have to leave my flat

the rules are simple you can bet on that



let's play shag tag baby

(run around with nothing on)

shag tag baby

(we'll do it till the clouds are gone)

shag tag uh huh

you're it!



do you remember how we used to play

running 'round the playground every day

now we're tied to adult situations

the rules for play have different connotations

take your clothes off find a hiding spot

i'll count to ten and girl i'll get you hot

and after all the games are said and done

we'll cuddle up together and we'll make some love



let's play shag tag baby

(run around with nothing on)

shag tag baby

(we'll do it till the clouds are gone)

let's play shag tag uh huh

shag tag uh huh

you're it!



every time i feel the way i do today

i think of you and it feels a little better

and in this gloomy world of ours

the games we play are magical

and sexual

and wonderful

so come to me and save me girl today



shag tag baby

(run around with nothing on)

shag tag baby

(we'll do it till the clouds are gone)

let's play shag tag uh huh

let's play shag tag uh huh

let's play shag tag uh huh

shag tag uh huh

shag tag uh huh

shag tag uh huh

let's play shag tag uh huh

shag tag uh huh

let's play shag tag uh huh
