I remember the night you weren't at home

(had to work late is what I heard)

That's what you said -

I can never forget the way it felt,

you needed time some time to work it out,

that's what you said

and now I feel a fool.



'Cos late at night I call your name,

I'm wondering what for,

'Cos I've seen those other guys

sniffin' around your door.



Whatever happened to the words

'Lovers for all eternity'?

That's what you said,

I was your Romeo, you were my Juliet,

eternally -

that's what you said

and now I feel a fool.



'Cos late at night I hear your voice

calling out my name,

oh I know it's just a dream

but every night's the same.



I carried a torch for you, through the thick and thin -

you know it don't seem right that I won't see you again

No no



Late at night I call your name,

I'm wondering what for,

'Cos I keep seeing those other guys

sniffin' around your door.



I carried a torch for you through the wind and rain -

I'll never forget you, but I won't see you again

No no



I thought your friends all liked me

I thought I fitted in just right,

that's what you said.

Soon I'll be gone and you'll be free,

you can go find the things you want.

That's what you said

and I won't feel a fool



'Cos late at night I still call your name,

I'm wondering what for -

'Cos I keep seeing those other guys

sniffin' around your door.



What for?
