[Verse]

One more face in the crowd

Face in the crowd, face in the crowd

Make me somebody else

Somebody else, somebody else

What’s your sign? What’s your name?

Sign, what's your name, sign, what's your name?

Will I see you again?

See you again, see you again


[Chorus]

Like a man with a broken dream

You never know what might have been

Can you get that bird to sing tonight?


[Verse]

Love that tiger-skin rug

Tiger-skin rug, tiger-skin rug

Lipstick colour of blood

Colour of blood, colour of blood

Incense fill the room

Fill the room, fill the room

Fly me over the moon

Over the moon


[Bridge]

Baby, I love you

Baby, I want you


[Chorus]

Like a man with a broken dream

You never know what might have been

Can you get that bird to sing tonight?

In the mood and in the dark

Can you mend that broken heart?

Can you get that bird to sing tonight?


[Chorus]

Like a man with a broken dream

You never know what might have been

Can you get that bird to sing tonight?

In the mood and in the dark

Can you mend that broken heart?

Can you get that bird to sing tonight?


[Verse]

One more face in the crowd

Face in the crowd, face in the crowd

Make-up taking me in

Taking me in, taking me in

What’s your sign? What’s your name?

Sign, what's your name, sign, what's your name

Will I see you again?

See you again


[Outro]

One night stand

(I love you)

One night stand

(I want you)

One night stand

(I love you)

One night stand

(I want you)

One night stand
