You come home after work. And the first thing that you do. Take me into your arms. And you find out how I've been. If the phone rings. Nobody answers.
Call me any time. That you wanna call. Tell me anything. Make it big or small. I can take it or leave it. If you wanna stay in. I can take it or leave it.
And when I see you in the morning. Looking like you never done. Anything wrong in your life. But I saw you when you saw me. Creeping round dead of night.
Say what you will. You can't take the stars at night. Take your love. But that doesn't stop my life. You've been fooling around. I looked to you for love.
I was walking down the street. Looking like a million dollars. With a pretty person on my arm. When someone started shouting. They were hooting and a hollering.
There's a very old expression. Called talking to the wall. And it means. You get no answers. Just stone silence. . But walls have ears. And you can hear me.
I wonder how I would really feel. If the situation should arise and I caught you. Cheating on me. I wonder what it would be like. To feel the tears fall from my eyes as I watch you.
You won't let me. Meet all your friends. You say. It's for the best. But my instincts. I always follow. I believe. You're jealous. You use words. Like a weapon.
Every time I try to tell you. Just what's on my mind. You try. And calm me down. But this thing's got to come out. In the open some time. Yeah. . You've been seeing.
Strange. How everything feels so strange. Since you walked out on me. . I should be feeling blue. I should be feeling sad. But strange. So strange. I'm not crying over you.
I'm gonna step out of emotion. Break events that bring me down. I'm so uncertain. But it's my fault. For letting you distract me. There's trouble now.
You lean your back against the wall. Push your hands in your pocket. You look down. . Pacing the floor. You look out the window. Beyond the view. . Shake your body.
Everyone trying to be somebody. Everybody trying to be someone. Trying to be at the A list party. But most times on the sidelines waving. Look at me look at me.
I've been waking up every morning. Not one ray of sunshine through my pane. I've been sleeping wrapped warm in sadness, yeah. Not a smile upon my face.
Shell me with questions all night. I'm living in a danger zone. Like a sword of destruction. Eating at your very soul. . Possessed by emotional tides.
If I'm feeling down. If I'm ever low. I just think of you. And the songs. . Filled with lots of meaning. With everything I need. Spiritually healing. Words that comfort.
It's like I'm in a movie. And I'm the villain of the piece. You're some sweet angel child. Even strangers blame me. While you come up smelling sweet. How come I'm always cast in all the tragedies.
Smell of a man. Smell of musk. The noise of the train. From morning till dusk. The up escalator broken down. The clothes on my back. Look like they were taken out of the laundry basket.
I don't know what you're thinking. Should I stay or say goodbye. You blow smoke on the ceiling. You don't wanna look into my eyes. . You've got somebody who loves you.
Someone's in the background. While we're on the phone. Giving you the answers. Where do they get. All this information. And how. . Put'em on the phone right now.
