I just want to wake your heart
but you go to sleep
and you break my heart
Annabella...
where will you be,
who do you see,
when you dream at night?

A little while ago I went and placed a call
To tell this girl I know that she could have it all
The wedding ring, the whole dumb thing
I was willing to tie the knot
So I called her up, and this is the answer I got...

[Chorus]
I'm so sorry you have just reached my answering machine

You and me can beat this rap
It's a rat race headin' for a mouse trap
Let's drop it
Mmm, honey, let's drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it

Who's got what and what's got who?
Ain't got one damn thing to do with me and you
Let's drop it

I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long
Like a worn out recording of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleepin' I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns, there was this letter I read

If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape

Life has a billion problems
Try as you might to solve 'em
You won't resolve them all tonight
Relax, it's not your fault
You're such a fancy dancer
Problems are what you make them
You've got to take them with a glass of wine
And a grain of salt

Over by the window, there's a pack of cigarettes.
Not my brand you understand,
Sometimes the girl forgets
She forgets to hide them
I know who left those smokes behind
She'll say, oh, he's just a friend,
And I'll say, oh, I'm not blind
to..

I don't need you
I don't need you half as much
As you need me
And I thank my lucky stars
That you have freed me

Cause I'm losing weight at last
Losing weight and losing sleep

I don't trust no magazine
I don't trust the price of gasoline
And when you say I must
I simply say, "Ooh, in you I trust"

Seeing is believing you
When I see your eyes, I'm receiving you
And when my faith goes bust

The more I learn, the less I know
The more I earn, the more I owe
The more I search for somethin' new
The more I come right back to you

I'll always need your love I guess
I've looked for more but more is less
You take me in, you take me slow

She gets an hour for lunch
But if it comes to the crunch
She can stretch it if you know what I mean
She meets him at a hotel
Where they're not known very well
'Cause they never stay beyond 2:15
She does her make-up with care
And runs a brush through her hair

I arise to the 5 AM skies
Left over from yesterday
With a moan I reach out for the phone
It's her says, she's on her way

And fifteen minutes later
I hear the elevator
I gave her my apartment key

If you take these glasses from my face
Think that you would find
I'm undeniably, certifiably just a shade of blind

I don't envy those of you with 20/20 vision
Who've seen the world for all its worth
With crystal clear precision

She's under-age and she's underweight
And she's one month hooked and she's two months late
She comes from Wyoming
And he named her Desiree

She hit New York like a farm-fresh egg
Hits a frying pan, she's too proud to beg
So she works on the sidewalk

Singles,
You & I are singles
Strangers
Trying to stay warm in the snow
Maybe
We will wake as strangers
Or maybe we will find
We have somewhere to go.

I can make a speech
When the mood comes to me, yes it's true
But oh pretty darlin'
I am speechless when it comes to you

Speechless when you reach for my hand
I am so speechless and I can't understand how you love me
But as long as you keep sayin' that you love me

I haven't seen you in a month of Sundays
Ah you look so good today
You're that instant rush of breeze
That shakes the pine combs from their trees
And blows the smoke of stale acquaintances away

This quiet town seems just they way we left it
When we left not long ago

You're browsing through a second hand bookstore
And you see her in non-fiction V through why
She looks up from World War II
And then you catch her, catching, you catching her eye

And you quickly turn away your wishful stare
And take a sudden interest in your shoes
If you only had the courage but you don't

TOUCH AND GO
Rupert Holmes

Nobody said that
Life is always fair
Sometimes it clips your wings
While you're in mid-air
But there's a thread
