There’s a fog upon L.A.  
And my friends have lost their way  
We’ll be over soon they said  
Now they’ve lost themselves instead.  
Please don’t be long please don’t you be very long  
Please don’t be long or I may be asleep  
Well it only goes to show  
And I told them where to go  
Ask a policeman on the street  
There’s so many there to meet  
Please don’t be long please don’t you be very long

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine, calls her on the phone:  
“Can I take you out to the pictures, Joan?”  
But as she’s getting ready to go, a knock comes on the door…

Someone’s knocking at the door.  
Somebody’s ringing the bell.  
Do me a favor- open the door and let 'em in.

(If the above is cheating…)  
This happened once before, when I came to your door,  
No reply.  
They said it wasn’t you, but I saw you peek through  
Your window.

I saw the light! I saw the light!  
I know that you saw me cause I looked up to see your face.

</div>

(Fuck it, I’m also gonna cheat):

Tell me, what is my life  
Without your love?  
Tell me, who am I  
Without you, by my side?  
What I feel, I can’t say  
But my love is there for you any time of day

You say you will love me  
If I have to go  
You’ll be thinking of me  
Somehow I will know  
Someday when I’m lonely  
Wishing you weren’t so far away  
Then I will remember  
Things we said today

Now I long

Is bringing her down, yeah.  
That she would never be free  
When I was around.

Silly people run around  
They worry me and never ask me  
Why they don’t get past my door  
I’m taking the time for a number of things  
That weren’t important yesterday  
And I still go ooh ooh ooh ah ah

Love me while you can,  
Before I’m dead, old man.

A lifetime is so short.  
A new one can’t be bought.  
But what you’ve got means such a lot to me.

You don’t realise how much I need you.  
Love you all the time and never leave you.  
Please come on back to me.  
I’m lonely as can be. I need you.

Said you had a thing or two to tell me.  
How was I to know you would upset me?  
I didn’t realise as I looked in your eyes…  
You told me.

Waiting for your knock, dear,  
Upon my old front door.  
I don’t hear it-  
Does this mean you don’t love me any more?
