Tanita Tikaram - Lovers In The City lyrics

Album: Lovers In The City (1995)

I would never call this an unpleasant situation
I would never teach you how to lie
But sometimes I´ve been walking numb
And I must catch myself before I cry
Before I cry
I never call anything ugly
I never call anything strange & alone
I never wanna, take things lightly
Like they have never been my own

Oh, don´t - now I´ven´t heard it yet
Oh, don´t - I havn´t heard
But I know them - & they´re inclined to see
Just who is
And is not
A lover in the city

I always thought I´d be star bright
I always thought you would feel it too
But sometimes I´ve been making conversation
And I must catch myself
Before I am down
I am down on you
I never think they´d be scaring me
scared couples in the cold
They look so fine in their eagerness
I wonder to myself just how they know

Oh, don´t - now I´ven´t heard it yet
Oh, don´t - I havn´t heard
But I know them - & they´re inclined to see
Just who is
And is not
A lover in the city

I swear
I am staking out the whole world
I swear
I am staking out the whole world
I am staking out the whole world

I could never entertain you
I would be far too scared to try
But sometimes I´ve been talking dumb
And I forget myself
And I forget myself
And don´t ask, why?

Oh, don´t - now I´ven´t heard it yet
Oh, don´t - I havn´t heard
But I know them - & they´re inclined to see
Just who is
And is not
A lover in the city
