Lovers in the City

I'd never call this an unpleasant situation I'd never teach you how to lie But sometimes I have been walking numb And I must catch myself before I cry Before I cry I never call anything ugly I never call anything strange and alone I never want to, take things lightly Like they have never been my own Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet Oh, don't - I havn't heard But I know them - and they are inclined to see Just who is And isn't A lover in the city I always thought I would be star bright I always thought you'd feel it too But sometimes I have been making conversation And I must catch myself Before I'm down I'm down on you I never think they would be scaring me Scared couples in the cold They look so fine in their eagerness I wonder to myself just how they know Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet Oh, don't - I havn't heard But I know them - and they are inclined to see Just who is And isn't A lover in the city I swear I'm staking out the whole world I swear I'm staking out the whole world I'm staking out the whole world I could never entertain you I'd be far too scared to try But sometimes I have been talking dumb And I forget myself And I forget myself And don't ask, why? Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet Oh, don't - I havn't heard But I know them - and they are inclined to see Just who is And isn't A lover in the city
