I'm happy to be here I'm happy to be with you For where in a lifetime Do we do the things we really want to Now old friends they watch lovers They wonder where we're going to They know each look from the other And they accuse you, accuse you It's on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and Don't do this to me, stop listening, start calling my name Stop turning from me, start feeling I'm here, stop listening Keep holding me I'm happy to lie here Well, I'm happy to touch your face I've got nothing to fear here So these feelings, they cannot be placed Oh, why do you never listen? What do you ever want? It's funny how I feel like, some kind of person Another kind of person I would never like to be Your on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and Can't do this to you, stop listening, I keep calling your name I'm not turning from you, start feeling I'm here, stop teasing me Keep holding me You can be fragile I don't care I'll always be there Can't do this to you, stop listening, I keep calling your name yes I do I'm not turning from you, start feeling I'm here, stop teasing me Keep holding me
