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
