The rain poured down the wind swept avenue
On another dark wet December afternoon
All my cherished memories are of you
All my warmth and comfort stayed with you

I would have wrote you a letter
but the telephone calls are free
Cause the boys in the next apartment
Are working all day
They're a great bunch of guys
But I think they're all gay
What am I doing

Look at all the problems
That we've been through
How can you tell me
That there's somebody new
I don't believe that I'm hearing this
I don't really think that you're serious

Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way I've nothing left
You can take my heart but don't steal my pride
Think it over before I'm pushed aside
And tell me

Say it ain't true

Somebody somewhere
In the heat of the night
Looking pretty dangerous
Running out of patience

Tonight in the city
You won't find any pity
Hearts are being twisted
Another lover cheated, cheated

In the bars and the cafes, passion
In the streets and the alleys, passion
A lot of pretending, passion
Everybody searching, passion

Once in love you're never out of danger

How can you say life's getting you down
Get yourself out go along with the crowd
You're all dressed up got nowhere to go
You feel left out cause nobody showed
listen babe

When you think you're the only one
Who can't find love in this world
Tell yourself there's another one
Who's waiting for you, somewhere

Somebody special is thinking of you
Somebody special is dreaming of you

Seems like only yesterday
We were laughing like a couple of kids
Fun we had when first met
Ain't been around much since
Sharing every hour every day
Funny how time slips away
But there's no replacement, baby
When the good times fade away

Oh how soon we changed
Oh how soon we changed
Funny how soon we change
Oh how soon we changed

You remember Casey's bar
and Maxfields after dark

Driving in my car
There's nothing on the air
Play a song that'll ease my pain
D.J.'s telling me
That this is what'll be
Help me I'm depressed again

My best friend disappeared
With the girl I had for years
My life's going down the drain
The skies are crying
Everybody's lying
Oh God I'm depressed again

Give me wings I'll fly away
Magnificent and free
Far away from the madding crowd

Friday night she's dressed to kill
Fishnet tights wearing redhigh heels
All the boys say she's cold as ice
I won't sleep until I satisfied

Keep on watching her across the room
Waiting for the band to play a faster tune
I want her number but I'm scared to ask
I wanna dance and I want her ass
Why the fuck is she ignoring me
I don't know what's wrong with me

Dance with me

Miss you babe
Miss you babe

She's everywhere I go
She's everything I know
And now I think she's finally
Touched my soul
She's heaven here on earth
Much more than I deserve
And I don't wanna ever let her go
I'm getting used to all her ways
Everything she says
Her smiles, her frowns
Her ups and all her downs

She's every move that I make
She's every breath I take

Can I introduce myself
I'm a man of panache and wealth
Sound in mind, body, soul and health
Why I wanna kill my wife
I have the urge to take her life

Been planing for years to get rid of her
Not divorce I really do mean to kill her
She's so full of useless information and trivia
That's why I wanna kill my wife
I have a duty to take her life

Her stupid friends get right up my nose

Call the girls and dress up fine
Tonight I felt like suicide
Roll them dice and pour the wine
Shuffle them cards and deal them fine
Got nobody to kiss tonight
Nothing to lose but my appetite

Wanna be silly and sing and shout
Gotta get legless and fall about
Turn the music up nice and loud
Cheer me up don't bring me down
Gonna lose my job next week
Getting replaced by a silicone chip
