You were in the city,
one night all alone
Waiting for a taxi
that could take you home
You swa a man walking
down the street, towards you
And you could see he had no teeth
in his upper jaw
He had dirt in his hair,
he had dirt everywhere
His clothes didn't fit,
and one eye was hit
He asked you if you had
a minute to talk
You said you didn't talk to strangers
and you started to walk
His eyes looked sad
and he asked you why
you acted like this,
was it because he looked so bad
I know I scare you,
but I just wanted to say
that you're the most beautiful,
I've seen today
You said
Thank you very much
but pleace now
leave me alone
He said where are you going
You said
I'm going home
Oh pleace would you invite me
to your house sometime
you have just seen mine,
it's here on tha ground
He took a bottle from his jacket
and he said cheers
And you felt it was gone,
that feeling of fear
You said
what happened to you,
how could you
end up like this
You must have had your choices,
so tell me what this is
He said
you don't know a thing about me
All you know is only what you see
Even if I've lost the most
of my brain
I still can see the sun and I can feel
when it rains
I tried to be friendly,
I tried to be nice
But you turned me your back and
you were as chilly as ice
I didn't ask you for money,
I asked you for words
It's not my life that bothers,
it's the way you act that hurts
You said you were sorry,
but how could you know
what someone like him,
suddenly could do
But then you talked
until the taxi arrived
You said you had to go,
you said goodnight
There's only one thing
I wanna tell you
before you go
I know you wanna get home
I know you do
I just wanted to tell you,
I just wanted to say
That I'll remember
with a smile this dayYou've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
She's getting to used to your face, getting too used to your smile
She's saying the same things every morning before you leave her
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
You'd better look out, cos he's not far behind
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
Suddenly she's trying to please you, you start to think she's acting strange
And after all these years she wears make-up in the morning
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
You'd better look out, cos he's not far behind
Did you really believe she's doing it all for you?
Oh, can't you see, there's somebody else
You never showed it, you should have known it
You've been in love, yeah you've been in love
You've been in love, yeah you've been in love
Going round singing all those love songs, songs you haven't heard for years
You're gonna have to ask her why she's so happy
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
But it may be too late, and I know why
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love, I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
To show, show, you've been in love, oh oh
(I've got blisters on my fingers)
