Sleeping With The Television On

Lyrics

I've been watching you waltz all night Diane  
Nobody's found a way behind your defenses  
They never notice the zap gun in your hand  
Until you're pointing it and stunning their senses  
  
All night long, all night long  
You'll shoot 'em down because you're waiting for somebody good to come on  
All night long, all night long  
But you're sleeping with the television on  
  
You say you're looking for someone solid here  
You can't be bothered with those 'just for the night' boys  
Tonight unless you take some kind of chances dear  
Tomorrow morning you'll wake up with a white noise  
  
All night long, all night long  
You're only standing there 'cause somebody once did somebody wrong  
All night long, all night long  
But you'll be sleeping with the television on  
  
You're eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me  
But your attitude is "don't waste my time"  
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me  
But you won't hear a word 'cause it just might be the same old line  
  
This isn't really easy for me to say Diane  
I know you don't need anybody's protection  
I really wish I was less of a thinking man  
And more a fool who's not afraid of rejection  
  
All night long, all night long  
I'll just be standing here 'cause I know I don't have the guts to come on  
All night long, all night long  
And I'll be sleeping with the television on  
  
You're eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me  
But my attitude is "boy, don't waste my time"  
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me  
But I won't say a word 'cause it just might be somebody else's same old line  
  
All night long, all night long  
We're only standing here 'cause somebody might do somebody wrong  
All night long, all night long  
And we'll be sleeping with the television on  
Sleeping with the television on  
Sleeping with the television on
