Let's meet in a respectable dive
|
On the somewhat safe street
|
And have a beer
|
We've both kept our eyes on the ball
|
We know the lyrics to them all
|
These songs of fear
|
|
And baby I love you
|
And I do not want to lose you
|
But I'm not able to put my cards on the table
|
And if you only knew of the hand that I'm holding
|
You would be blushing
|
And I am so far from bluffing
|
In this respectable dive
|
|
I know that we never play cards or write postcards
|
When we're both in the same town
|
But still I remember some notes on the kitchen counter
|
Back from work I've found
|
|
And baby I love you
|
And I do not want to lose you
|
But I'm not able to put my cards on the table
|
And if you only knew of the hand I was holding
|
You would be blushing
|
And I am so far from bluffing
|
In this respectable dive
|
|
Baby I love you
|
And I do not want to lose you
|
Baby I love you
|
And I do not want to lose you
|
