Tikaram Tanita Lovers In The City lyrics

Tikaram Tanita
Lovers In The City
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

(chorus)
Oh, don't - now I haven't heard it yet
Oh, don't - I haven'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 a 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 this cold
They look so fine in their eagerness
I wonder to myself just how they will know

(chorus)

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?

(chorus)
