Lyrics
It's late, we're walking home from town,
I feel good about myself, but then you cut me down
And I kid myself this is how it would be
If you were in love with me
At home in the evening, our friends come 'round,
You can hardly wait to start to run me down,
And I ask myself, is this how it would be,
If you were in love with me
You never say it, but I know it's right
You just need anyone to keep you warm at night,
You can't be by yourself, and it's easy for you to be with me.
There might be a day when you change your mind,
So I keep hanging on in hope one day you'll find,
Despite all the odds, that you are in love with me.
It's late at night, and I'm on my own,
Trying to untie the knot that cuts through to my bone,
And I ask myself, is this how it would be
If you were in love with me
