There goes my baby  
Movin’ on down the line  
Wonder where, wonder where  
Wonder where she is bound?

Uptown girl  
She’s been living in her uptown world  
I bet she’s never had a backstreet guy  
I bet her momma never told her why

You say your mother told you all that I could give you was a reputation  
She never cared for me  
But did she ever say a prayer for me? Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Come out, come out, come out  
Virginia, don’t let me wait,  
You Catholic girls start much too late,  
But sooner or later it comes down to fate  
I might as well be the one,  
You know that only the good die young

She crawled right in, oh my, she crawled right in my  
So hologramic, oh my TVC one five

Never turn you down  
When all the others turn you away

Turn around  
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you’re never coming 'round  
Turn around  
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears  
Turn around  
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by  
Turn around  
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes  
Turn around, bright eyes  
Every now and then I fall apart  
Turn around, bright eyes  
Every now and then I fall apart

Her lips sweet surprise  
Her hands are never cold  
She’s got Bette Davis eyes

The playmate sings

Like Orphee in some thunder world  
Asking to be bathed in light  
To be exemplified

With grey desire he looks out mad  
His soft grey indigo eyes

She’s a candle burning in my room  
Yeah, I’m like the needle, needle and spoon  
Over the counter with that shotgun  
Pretty soon everybody got one  
And the fever when I’m inside her  
Desire

I caught you knockin’  
At my cellar door  
I love you, baby,  
Can I have some more  
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and  
I lost my band  
I watched the needle  
Take another man  
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I don’t feel you any more  
you darken my door  
Whatever you’re looking for  
Hey! don’t come around here no more

I’ve given up, I’ve given up  
I’ve given up, you tangle my emotions  
I’ve given up, honey please admit it is over

Don’t come around here no more

You’re such a beauty, one of my best  
Could have stopped me running, could have beat the rest  
Now another face occupies my place  
Guess I’m not the one, the same old song  
Remember me, I’m gone

In a city of magic  
That spins out of time  
Where God has no image  
And Man finds no grace  
Something inside me was seeking itself  
As I ran  
From a shadow who’d stolen my face

The farther you run  
The more you recall  
The loss of your innocence  
After the fall

There is not much left to say  
all my life I tried to find a way  
a way to turn it all around  
you could catch me before I fall  
you could answer before I call  
Tell me before I hit the ground  
Can you feel me now?

</div>

For all time  
Looking for something to remind me  
Something out the corner of my eye  
Why can’t I feel it  
Why should I try

Bump into a stranger  
But that stranger is strangely familiar  
How could I let it slip by

Why can’t I feel it  
Can you tell me why
