The Whole Night

we can touch
 touch our girl cheeks
 and we can hold hands
 like paper dolls
 we can try
 try each other on
 in the privacy
 within new york city's walls
 we can kiss
 kiss goodnight
 and we can go home wondering
 what would it be like if
 if i did not have a boyfriend
 we could spend
 the whole night...
 i am waking up
 in her bed
 i sing 1st avenue
 the open window said
 always late to sleep
 late to rise
 lying here watching the day go by
 in the living room
 there are people on the carpet
 having stupid conversations
 just to hear themselves talk
 and i am drifting through
 i am heading for the kitchen
 i am thinking of her fingers as i walk...
 we can touch
 touch our girl cheeks
 and we can hold hands
 like paper dolls
 we can try
 try each other on
 in the privacy
 within new york city's walls
 we can kiss
 kiss goodnight
 and we can go home wondering
 what would it be like if
 if i did not have a boyfriend
 we could spend
 the whole night...
