Standard (EADGBE)

 1.There's a cat in the alleyway

Dreaming of birds that are blue

Sometimes girl when I'm lonely

This is how I think about you

2.There are times that I want you

I want you so much I could bust

I know a thing aboat lovers

Lovers lie down in trust

Refrain

(2x)

Love goes on anyway!

3.The people next door got their problems

They got things they can't name

I know a thing about lovers

Lovers don't feel any shame

4.Late at night with the lights down low

The candle burns to the end

I know a thing about darkness

Darkness ain't my friend

Refrain

I'm gonna make you happy

I'm gonna spin you round

I'm gonna cut your strings

5.I put my foot flat down on the floor

I took it as far as I could

I took it down there to Sheridan Street

By the dark wood

Late at night when I want you

I lock you in my room

I know a thing about darkness

I know a thing about lovers

Lovers want the moon

Refrain
