You think you're alone until you realize you're in it.Now fear is here to stay, love is here for a visit.

I was watching while you're dancing away,our love got fractured in the echo and sway.How come everybody wants to be your friend?You know that it still hurts me just to say it.

But it's easier to say 'I love you',than 'Yours, sincerely' I suppose.

I don't wanna be a lover,I just wanna be your victim.

So you take her to the pictures,trying to become a fixture.Inch by inch trying to reach her,all the way through the second feature.Worrying about your physical fitness,tell me how you got this sickness?

I could say it was the nights when I was lonelyand you were the only one who'd talk.I could tell you that I like your sensitivity,when you know it's the way that you walk.

Oh, I said 'I'm so happy, I could die.'She said 'Drop dead,' then left with another guy.

I hear they're givin' you a bad reputationjust because you've never been denied.You try to say you've done it all before,baby, you know that you just get tired.Yet everybody loves you so much, girl,I just don't know how you stand the strain.Oh, I, I'm the one who's here tonight,and I don't wanna do it all in vain.
