Madness, Rhoda Dakar - On the Town lyrics

[Madness, Rhoda Dakar - On the Town lyrics]

Oh it's early in the morning
It's raining and the streetlights
Streaming through my windows
Casting shadows on the ceiling
The room is oh so empty
Stand against the wall
The clock is ticking loudly
It's deafening in this quiet room
(A car is quietly passing)
(The door is softly closing)
Oh how long have I been waiting?
(Footsteps hesitating)
(Some keys are held from ringing)

What am I to say, inside I don't want to stay
Oh 'cos I've been on the town
Sick and tired of your frown

I can hear you in the hallway
It's not unusual you're there everyday
Only now the hour's so late
Every minute I've had to wait
Has been an eternity
But now you're back again with me
The clock says five fifteen
Oh won't you tell me where you've been
Won't you tell me where you've been

What am I to say, inside I don't want to stay
Oh 'cos I've been on the town
Sick and tired of your frown
And if I met another guy
Who could not say I would not lie

I saw you in the morning
It was just like every other day
You kissed me on the cheek
I said "Here comes another week"
You glanced out of the window
And I asked you where your thoughts go
"I'm just tired I guess" you said
And turned away your head
You just turned away your head

What am I to say
(You just turned away your head)
Inside I don't want to stay
Oh 'cos I've been on the town
Sick and tired of your frown
(I'm so tired of waiting) what am I to say
(You just turned away your head)
I could not stand another day
Oh, I wish that you could see
That it is all over for me
And if I met another guy
Who could not say I would not lie

Cos I've been on the town
I've been on the town
Cos I've been on the town
I've been on the town i've been on the town
I've been on the town i've been on the town
I've been on the town i've been on the town
