Lovers In The City Lyrics - Tikaram Tanita

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)
