Once upon a midnight dearie
I woke with something in my head
I couldn`t escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contstant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
yeah humor me and tell me lies
And I`ll lie too and say I don`t mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you`re feeling open I`ll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully
But you
Why you wanna give me a run around
Is it a sure fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
And shake me and my confidence
About a great many things
But I`ve been there I can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood`s calling for the movie rights
Singing Hey babe let`s keep in touch
hey baby let`s keep in touch
But I want more than a touch
I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we`re lucky we`d be unable to tell
What`s yours and mine the fishing`s fine
And it doesn`t have to rhyme
so don`t you feed me a line
But you
Why you wanna give me a run around
Is it a sure fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Tra la la la la bombardier this is the pilot speaking
And I`ve got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands
no matter what you drop
And there ain`t a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn
and the wind`s gotten colder
Perhaps I`ve grown a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink in and always be full yeah
I will drink in and always be full
Oh I like coffee and I like tea
I`d like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can`t shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay so be that way
I hope and pray that there`s something left to say
But you
Why you wanna give me a run around
Is it a sure fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Oh you
Why you wanna give me a run around
Is it a sure fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
