Sleeping With the Television On
I've been watching you waltz all night DianeNobody's found a way behind your defensesThey never notice the zap gun in your handUntil you're pointing it and stunning their senses
All night long, all night longYou'll shoot 'em down because you're waiting for somebody good to come on(All night long, all night long)But you'll be sleeping with the television on
You say you're looking for someone solid hereYou can't be bothered with those 'just for the night' boysTonight unless you take some kind of chances dearTomorrow morning you'll wake up with the white noise
All night long, all night longYou're only standing there 'cause somebody once did somebody wrong(All night long, all night long)But you'll be sleeping with the television on
You're eyes are saying "talk to me", (talk to me)But your attitude is “don't waste my time”Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to meBut you won't hear a word 'cause it just might be the same old line
This isn't really easy for me to say DianeI know you don't need anybody's protectionI really wish I was less of a thinking manAnd more a fool who's not afraid of rejection
All night long, all night longI'll just be standing here 'cause I know I don't have the guts to come on(All night long, all night long)And I'll be sleeping with the television on
You're eyes are saying "talk to me", (talk to me)But my attitude is “boy, don't waste your time”(Your eyes are saying "talk to me, talk to me")But I won't say a word 'cause it just might be somebody else's same old line
All night long, all night longWe'll just be standing here 'cause somebody might do somebody wrong(All night long, all night long)I will be sleeping with the television onSleeping with the televisionSleeping with the televisionSleeping with the television on
Ohh, sleeping with the television on
