Devastate me, no, don't take me
don't take me the wrong way. It wasn't what I meant
Long wires between us
Ocean's screen us
from understanding everything we want to say
Tell me softly over and over again
You can't speak too clearly I understand
I really do
Say things to me
Do things to me (come on do things)
We don't make much sense on the long distance phone
Encourage me with words
Feed me to the birds that sit along
and listen in on this telephone wire
Tell me softly over and over again
You can't speak too clearly, I understand
Cancel everything for a while
This ain't the way things are supposed to be
I want to be with you
Shoe shine boy
Are you gonna be my friend?
Seems like I've run into you again
This old hotel room's too familar for me
I can't take it any more
It's the last place on earth I choose to be
You don't have to worry with me
If I wanted you to go I'd lose you on my own free will
Yes I need you. . .
Reassure me over and over again
You can speak too clearly I understand
I really do
Cancel everything
