He needs to know that she still believes
He needs to be the centre of her world
He wonders does she ever look around
It only takes a certain kind of girl

The streets of this town belong to her
The men will watch, she has her choices
Their words all rhyme but their thoughts are unholy
And she hears no sweetness in their voices

Chorus:

She's got no time for the games and the goings-on
No time for the vain and handsome fools
No time for them but to him she'll say
Let me sing a love song for you
Let me sing a love song for you

He sees the darkness in the light of the sun
He sees the taking in the act of giving
He sees the dying in the face of the newborn
He finds no innocence in living

But he sees it
When she plays it
And he means it
And won't say it
Why won't he say it?

Chorus
