Jonathan it's late, yeah, well don't you think that I should go
why? we were just starting to talk now,
It was just getting good don't you know.
But if I leave here, yeah, in the morning.
What will the neighbors tell your wife?
I'll worry about that
my wife knows me
I don't want to let the neighbors run my life.
No, I don't want to let the neighbors run my life, no no.
well
Well it would look suspicious, I suppose
And I know why they'd want to know
They like my wife
They don't want her hurt and so
If that's all they see
I wouldn't blame 'em if they go and tell my wife
but my wife knows me
So I don't need to let the neighbors run my life.
No, no, no need to let the neighbors run my life, no no.
see what I mean?
Here we are down the street, yeah?
Here we are hand in hand. Yeah?
You're close to me people might misunderstand?
yeah, they could
If that's all they see,
I suppose they'd go and tell my wife
But my wife knows me better than that
I have no need to let the neighbors run my life.
No, no need to let the neighbors run my life, no no.
you know this reminds me of something
when I was over at Jill's house, uh huh
when Ed was away, oh brother, wait a minute
all we did incidently was stay up night talkin, is that what they call it now?
yeah we had a lot to say, I bet you did, don't talk about it like that
I just, in fact, I left her
she said jonathan if you stay, rumours will be ripe
and that's one way of handling it i guess
here's what I don't like
you see I don't like to let the neighbors run my life, no
I just can't stand to let the neighbors run my life, no no
that's right, no no
no no
why? we were just starting to talk now,
It was just getting good don't you know.
