Took a walk and passed your house (late last night)
|
All the shades were pulled and drawn (way down tight)
|
From within, a dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade
|
Oh, what a lovely couple they ma-ade
|
|
Put his arms around your waist (held you tight)
|
Kisses I could almost taste (in the night)
|
Wonder why I'm not the guy *whose silhouette's* on the shade
|
I couldn't hide the tears in my eye-eyes
|
|
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes)
|
ty-oh, oh-oh
|
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes),
|
ty-oh, oh-oh
|
|
Lost control and rang your bell (I was sore)
|
Let me in or else I'll beat (down your door)
|
When two strangers who had been two silhouettes on the shade
|
Said to my shock "you're on the wrong blo-ock"
|
|
Rushed down to your house with wings (on my feet)
|
Loved you like I never loved (you my sweet)
|
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade
|
All of our days, two silhouettes on the sha-ade
|
|
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes)
|
ty-oh, oh-oh
|
Silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes) silhouettes (silhouettes),
|
ty-oh, oh-oh
|
|
Two silhouettes on the shade
|
Silhouettes!
