Sleeping With the Television On

Lyrics

I've been watching you waltz all night diane
 Nobody's found a way behind your defenses
 They never notice the zap gun in your hand
 Until you're pointing it and stunning their senses
 All night long, all night long
 You'll shoot 'em down because you're waiting for somebody good to come on
 All night long, all night long
 But you'll be sleeping with the television on
 ♪
 You say you're looking for someone solid here
 You can't be bothered with those 'just for the night' boys
 Tonight unless you take some kind of chances dear
 Tomorrow morning you'll wake up with the white noise
 All night long, all night long
 You're only standing there 'cause somebody once did somebody wrong
 All night long, all night long
 But you'll be sleeping with the television on
 Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
 But your attitude is don't waste my time
 Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
 But you won't hear a word 'cause it just might be the same old line
 This isn't easy for me to say diane
 I know you don't need anybody's protection
 I really wish I was less of a thinking man
 And more a fool who's not afraid of rejection
 All night long, all night long
 I'll just be standing here 'cause I know I don't have the guts to come on
 All night long, all night long
 And I'll be sleeping with the television on
 Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
 But my attitude is boy, don't waste your time
 Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
 But I won't say a word 'cause it just might be somebody else's same old line
 ♪
 All night long, all night long
 We're only standing here 'cause somebody might do somebody wrong
 All night long, all night long
 And we'll be sleeping with the television on
 Sleeping with the television on
 Sleeping with the television on
