Well, I gave you Rome, but you gave it back.
You said you didn't like the weather.
And I laughed out loud as we made wedding plans
but in, I knew that you meant every word.
When I broke your nose, boy, you still looked good.
It was hard enough sleeping with the door closed.
Well, I'm older now, but I'm no better than I was
when you still let me hold you, hold you.
Chorus
I will not touch you in the dark
if I cannot love you in the daylight.
Oh I, said I, I refuse to keep mine hid.
I said I, I refuse to keep mine hid.
Well, you gave me Rome, but I gave it back.
We both knew that I couldn't stay there.
You laughed aloud as we made wedding plans,
but in, I prayed that you meant every word.
When you broke my nose, I must have looked a fool.
It was bad enough sleeping with our backs turned.
Well, I'm older now, but I'm no better than I was
when you still let me hold you, hold you.
Chorus
And I will not touch you in the dark
If I cannot love you in the daylight.
Oh I, I said I, I refuse to keep mine hid
And I will not touch you in the dark
If I cannot love you in the daylight.
Oh I, I said I, I refuse to keep mine hid
I said I, I refuse to keep mine hid.
In the daylight...
In the daylight...
