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
