You want her  
You need her  
And yet you don’t believe her when she says her love is dead  
You think she needs you

Cause I’m not sleeping  
Theres something about you girl  
That makes me sweat  
How do you feel?  
I’m lonely  
What do you think?  
Can’t think at all  
Whatcha gonna do?  
Gonna live my life  
So slide over here  
And give me a moment  
Your moves are so raw  
I’ve got to let you know  
I’ve got to let you know  
Youre one of my kind  
I need you tonight

Now your dancing child with his Chinese suit  
He spoke to me, I took his flute  
No, I wasn’t very cute to him - Was I ?  
But I did though because he lied  
Because he took you for a ride  
And because time was on his side  
And because I …  
I want you, I want you  
Yes, I want you so bad  
Honey, I want you

You’re gonna come back, baby  
'Cause I know  
You’re gonna come back knocking  
Yeah, knocking right on my door  
Yes, yes!

Well, time is on my side  
Yes, it is  
Time is on my side  
Yes, it is

Baby come back, oh baby, any kind of fool could see  
There was something in everything about you  
Baby come back, you can blame it all on me  
I was wrong and I just can’t live without you, oh

Now that I put it all together, oh oh  
Give me the chance to make you see  
Have you used up all the love in your heart?  
Nothing left for me? Ain’t there nothing left for me?

I spent the evening with the radio  
Regret the moment that I let you go  
Our quarrel was such a way of learning so much  
I know now that I love you  
'Cause I need your touch, hey, hey

Reunited and it feels so good  
Reunited 'cause we understood  
There’s one perfect fit  
And, sugar, this one is it  
We both are so excited  
'Cause we’re reunited, hey, hey

I’d sit alone and watch your light  
My only friend through teenage nights  
And everything I had to know  
I heard it on my radio

Long ago, and oh, so far away  
I fell in love with you before the second show  
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear  
But you’re not really here, it’s just the radio

Lovers appear in your room each night  
And they whirl you across the floor  
But they always seem to fade away  
When your daddy taps on your door  
Angie girl, are you alright?  
Tell the radio goodnight  
All alone once more, Angie baby

I’ll see you standin’ there  
You don’t care anymore  
And love in your life  
Stabbin’ knife in my heart

Don’t runaway, midnight hideaway  
Don’t you fade away 'til the morning light

But I’ve got to creep down the alleyway  
Fly down the highway  
Before they come to catch me I’ll be gone  
Somewhere they can’t find me

Searchin’ searchin’ for my baby  
Searchin’ searchin’ for my love  
I’m searchin’ for the one I used to hold  
If I find her, you know, I will  
I’ll never, never let her go now, baby

Yeah, I heard a funny thing  
Somebody said to me  
You know that I could be in love with almost everyone  
I think that people are  
The greatest fun  
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

I’ll say goodbye to love  
No one ever cared if I should live or die  
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by  
And all I know of love is how to live without it  
I just can’t seem to find it

Down with love,  
With flowers and rice and shoes,  
Down with love,  
The root of all midnight blues,  
Down with things  
That give you that well-known pain,  
Take that moon,  
Wrap it in cellophane.  
Down with love, let’s liquidate all it’s friends,  
Like Moon, June, roses and rainbow’s ends.  
Down with songs that moan about night and day.  
Down with love: take it away, away.  
Take it away. Take it away.

I used to follow  
Yeah, that’s true  
But my following days are over  
Now, I just gotta follow through  
And I remember what my father said  
He said “Son, life is simple”  
It’s either cherry red or  
Midnight blue, oh, oh  
Midnight blue, oh, oh
