The streets of pleasure took you to top
|
But every light was red and every sign said stop
|
I felt so confined, just like glued to the spot, oh
|
As we were sleeping in the noon day sun
|
We escaped the test and the marathon run
|
And no one heard Alfie's muffled cries
|
Oh Alfie, put a stop to that
|
Whoa, but Alfie, I wish you'd please come back
|
|
So though it's hard - we might have made it through
|
But now there's nothing left except the memories of you
|
|
The overflowing bath awoke us
|
As we ran frightened
|
To the top of the stairs to find poor Alfie
|
And blood stained letters don't count for change
|
And don't look for blame
|
'Cause it's a fair exchange
|
For the last adventure I have left
|
|
As we were sleeping in the noon day sun
|
We escaped the test and the marathon run
|
And no one heard Alfie's muffled cries
|
Oh Alfie, put a stop to that
|
Oh, but Alfie, I wish you'd please come back
|
|
Now it's gonna be hard for me to make it through
|
When all that's left is the memories of
|
Nothing left except the memories of war and pain
|
Please pity poor Alfie
|
|
Poor Alfie put a stop to that
|
Poor Alfie I wish you'd please come back
|
Poor Alfie put a stop to that
|
Oh, but Alfie I wish you'd please come back
|
Poor Alfie!
|
|
You'll never know how much I love you
|
Never know how much I care
|
'Cause when you put your arms around me
|
I get a fever I can hardly bear
|
You give me fever
|
When you kiss me
|
Fever when you hold me tight
|
Fever through the daytime
|
I get a fever all through the night
|
|
Sun lights up the daytime
|
Moon lights up the night
|
I light up when you kiss me
|
And I know I'm gonna treat you right
|
You give me fever
|
When you kiss me
|
Fever when you hold me tight
|
Fever through the daytime
|
I get a fever all through the night
|
|
Bless my soul I love you
|
Take this old heart away
|
Take these arms I'll never use
|
Just believe what my words have to say
|
You give me fever
|
When you kiss me
|
Fever when you hold me tight
|
Fever through the daytime
|
I get a fever all through the night
|
|
You give me fever
|
