Lovers In The City Lyrics - Tanita Tikaram

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 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 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 

Sacred couples in this 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 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 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 don't ask why 

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
