Lovers In The City - Tanita Tikaram

Id never call this an unpleasant situation

Id never teach you how to lie

But sometimes I have been walking numb

And I must catch myself before I cry

Before I cry

I never call anything ugly

I never call anything strange and alone

I never want to take things lightly

Like they have never been my own

Oh dont - now I havent heard it yet

Oh dont - I havnt heard

But I know them - and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isnt

A lover in the city

I always thought I would be star bright

I always thought youd feel it too

But sometimes I have been making conversation

And I must catch myself

Before Im down

Im down on you

I never think they would be scaring me

Scared couples in the cold

They look so fine in their eagerness

I wonder to myself just how they know

Oh dont - now I havent heard it yet

Oh dont - I havnt heard

But I know them - and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isnt

A lover in the city

I swear

Im staking out the whole world

I swear

Im staking out the whole world

Im staking out the whole world

I could never entertain you

Id be far too scared to try

But sometimes I have been talking dumb

And I forget myself

And I forget myself

And dont ask why

Oh dont - now I havent heard it yet

Oh dont - I havnt heard

But I know them - and they are inclined to see

Just who is

And isnt

A lover in the city
