Eros Lyrics - Singles - Rod Mckuen

I have to walk at night...... 

And be with many.......and 

Give myself to many strangers. 

I don't know why.....I only know 

That people smile sometimes 

And I must smile back 

A certain eye....a smile, 

The way somebody walks 

I need mostly love 

Everything else must find it's place 

I need the warm touch, 

The unfamiliar smile, 

The umbrella when it rains, 

The head against the shoulder when the thunder comes. 

The unfamiliar touch 

The knowing that somebody loves me.... 

Even for a little while. 

You'll like my house, 

The music's okay, the lights are nice and I am warm, you'll see. 

Can you still go home with me 

Knowing 

The way I am in morning, 

Might make you sorry that you did? 

I mean, it's different for me in mornings. 

I'm not afraid of yellow sunlight or suspicious of rooms without music and atmosphere, but 

Things work best for me 

After Five O'clock. 

It's been like this always 

And you must believe that 

I'll be good to you, 

For me to work the best. 

I will, you know..... 

I will try so hard. 

For it has been so long 

Since I have had a woman 

Or a special friend. 

So, turn the corner with me... 

Stay close.... 

Don't be afraid..... 

For there is no one else but me....
