Not Here, Not Now Lyrics - Joe Jackson

These words of love 

So hard for me to find 

How can I change my mind 

If you can only lie? 

These shattered dreams 

I try to build again 

But looks could kill again 

And I'm too young to die 

[Chorus] 

Smiling faces all around us 

You don't want to make a scene 

Not here, not now 

And I don't want to cry 

We drink the wine 

Like we were really friends 

But can our sadness end 

And words turn into play? 

We dress so fine 

And step out on the town 

And friends may gather round 

But soon will turn away 

[Chorus: x2]
