All you said when you came up to me

"I only fall asleep when you're watching."

See me out the corner of your eye;

I look away, silent for a while, then I say:

On and on, I'm on my own;

I found my way to be;

On and on, you're far too close for me

Say, "On and on you're all alone

I found your way to be;

Hear me when your telephone rings."

All you said when you came up to me

"I only fall asleep when you're watching."

See me out the corner of your eye;

Slip away, silent for a while, I say:

On and on, I'm on my own;

I found my way to be;

On and on, you're far too close for me

Say, "On and on you're all alone

I found your way to be;

Hear me when your telephone rings."

And when I come outside

And you're letting out, you almost cry;

Sanity across your face:

"You like to feel the wind escaping

For far too long;

I should be tired of loving this."

On and on, I'm on my own;

I found my way to be;

On and on, you're far too close for me

Say, "On and on you're all alone

I found your way to be;

Hear me when your telephone rings."

On and on, I'm on my own;

I found my way to be;

On and on, you're far too close for me

Say, "On and on you're all alone

I found your way to be;

Hear me when your telephone rings."
