IF YOU SEE ME HERE

SITTING ON MY SHELF

IT’S ‘COS I NEVER WANTED

ANYBODY ELSE

SO IF YOU DECIDE

THAT YOU WANT TO STAY

I WILL BE TRUE ALWAYS

 

I’LL NEVER TRY TO DENY IT

I MIGHT HAVE DONE YOU WRONG BEFORE

NOW I’M GONNA DO YOU RIGHT

SO IF YOU BELIEVE

THAT A MAN CAN CHANGE

I WILL BE TRUE ALWAYS

 

I PROMISE YOU I WON’T LOOK BACK

HONESTY AND THAT’S A PACT

EVERY NIGHT AND EVERY DAY

I WILL GIVE YOU LOVE UNTIL YOU SAY

(That you want me to) STOP!

(At which point I would just go and play my guitar ‘cos that’s the only other thing that turns me on the way you do!)

 

IF YOU SEE ME HERE

DOWN UPON MY KNEES

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND

JUST WHAT YOU’VE DONE TO ME

COS’ YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE

THAT EVER MADE ME SAY

I WILL BE TRUE

I WILL BE TRUE

I WILL BE TRUE

ALWAYS

ALWAYS

ALWAYS

ALWAYS

THE WAY YOU ACT YOU’D THINK THAT
YOU DON’T LEAD AND ORDINARY LIFE
NO UNDERSTANDING THAT THE FUTURE ISN’T FOR YOU TO DECIDE
YOU CALL MY NAME (WHAT ARE YOU)
IT ISN’T FRIENDLY (TRYING TO TELL ME)
YOU ARE INSANE PUT IT DOWN
WE ARE THE SAME (WHAT DO YOU)
YOU WOULDN’T THINK IT (WANNA GIVE ME)
IT IS A SHAME PUT IT DOWN, DOWN. DOWN, DOWN

DOWN WITH THE POWER (x3)
PUT IT DOWN

I KNOW JUST WHERE YOU’RE GOING
YOU’RE GONNA TAKE ME FOR A RIDE
WITH YOUR TRUE COLORS SHOWING
THE TRUTH IS NOT FOR YOU TO HIDE
YOU WONDER WHY (WHAT ARE YOU)
YOU FEEL SO GUILTY (TRYING TO TELL ME)
AND THEN YOU LIE PUT IT DOWN
AND THEN YOU TRY (WHAT DO YOU)
YOU TRY TO CHANGE ME (WANNA GIVE ME)
YOU’RE ON THE SLY PUT IT DOWN

AIN’T GONNA MISS, AIN’T GONNA MISS MY TRAIN

AIN’T GONNA MISS, AIN’T GONNA MISS MY TRAIN

I TAKE ONE LOOK AT HISTORY AND IT’S JUST TO MUCH FOR ME

I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS

THAT I DON’T WANNA MISS, AIN’T GONNA MISS MY TRAIN.

 

YOU DON’T WANNA KNOW, DON’T WANNA KNOW MY PAIN.

YOU DON’T WANNA KNOW, DON’T WANNA KNOW MY PAIN

YOU DON’T KNOW THE STATE I’M IN ‘COS YOU AIN’T

BEEN TO THE PLACE I’VE BEEN

NO I’M NOT A PESSIMIST

JUST THAT I DON’T WANNA MISS, AIN’T GONNA MISS MY TRAIN.

 

BRIDGE:

WELL I HEAR MY TRAIN A COMIN’

WAY DOWN ON THE TRACK

WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT I’VE SEEN

THERE AIN’T NO TURNIN’ BACK

THERE AIN’T NO TURNIN’ BACK

 

DON’T WANNA WAIT, DON’T WANNA WAIT IN VAIN

DON’T WANNA WAIT, DON’T WANNA WAIT IN VAIN

IF THIS DON’T MEAN A THING TO YOU

I DON’T CARE WHAT THE HELL YOU DO

YOU DON’T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS

COS I AIN’T GONNA MISS, AIN’T GONNA MISS MY TRAIN.

I’VE GOT YOUR NAME AND YOUR NUMBER
AND THAT IS ALL I NEED
MEET YOU IN THE BACK ROOM ON THE FRONT LINE
MY COMPUTER SCREEN
DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE
BUT IT SURE FEELS GOOD TO ME

IT ONLY TAKES A KEY STROKE FROM YOUR LITTLE FINGER
AND YOU CAN MAKE MY NIGHT
GIRL IT’S NOT YOUR BODY THAT I’M AFTER
I THINK I’M ATTRACTED TO THE WAY YOU WRITE
DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE
BUT IT SURE FEELS GOOD TO ME

THINK I’M IN LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
WITH MY COMPUTER SCREEN

I DON’T NEED A FORMAL INTRODUCTION
OR A PHOTOGRAPH
THAT’S HOW WE GUARANTEE THAT FOREVER
THIS LOVE IS GONNA LAST
DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE
BUT IT SURE FEELS GOOD TO ME

THINK I’M IN LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
WITH MY COMPUTER SCREEN.
