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
