You wander around

"Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'"

You wander around
On your own little cloud
When you don't see
The why or the wherefore
You walk out on me
When we both disagree
'Cause to reason
Is not what you care for

I've heard it all
A million time before
Take off your coat,
My love, and close the door

Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
The night is long
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again

You try to be smart,
Then you take it to heart
'Cause it hurts
When your ego is deflated
You don't realize
That it's all compromise
And the problems
Are so overrated

Goodbye means nothing
When it's all for show
So why pretend
You've somewhere else to go

Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
Don't stand in the pouring rain
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'
The night is long
Forget your foolish pride
Nothing's wrong
Now you're beside me again

Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'

Tony Hatch - Jackie Trent
