Billy Joel - Sleeping with the Television On lyrics

Hey

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, hey

Oh, 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 sayin', "Talk to me
Talk to me"
But your attitude is "Don't waste my time"
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 sayin', "Talk to me
Talk to me"
But your attitude is "Don't waste my time"
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
Sleeping with the television
Sleeping with the television on
Oh, sleeping with the television on
