So come out tonight I'll be waiting for you now, it's all right The past is over Save your silences for some other day again I'm not full of sense but I'm not afraid to want you back, to want you back So pick up the phone It's been ringing there for hours all alone Oh so patiently 'Cause I'm the one who's telling you it's my fault again Won't you lend an ear 'cause I'm the one who off and went away, I went away So tell me about your relatives in Birmingham Don't tell me about the picture show Tell me about the picker with a steady hand but a long, long way to Go for what you wanted, isn't he sweet Did he buy you a souvenir? And tell me about the drummer with the steady beat who was talking in your ear
Don't stand by the fire 'Cause I'm not looking for a bird on a wire To sit there waiting for me I'll be in the midnight scenery against it all again I'd be with you ordinarily, with no choice but to stop and stare, to stop and stare So tell me about your relatives in Birmingham Don't tell me about the picture show Tell me about the picker with a steady hand but a long, long way to Go for what you wanted, isn't he sweet Did he buy you a souvenir? And tell me about the drummer with the steady beat who was talking in your ear I'll be waiting for you now It's alright it's alright I'll be waiting for you now It's alright it's alright Come out tonight
