Sleeping With the Television On (Remastered)
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
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 saying talk to me, talk to me
But your attitude is don't waste my time
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
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 saying talk to me, talk to me
But my attitude is boy, don't waste your time
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
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 on
Sleeping with the television on
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
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 saying talk to me, talk to me
But your attitude is don't waste my time
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
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 saying talk to me, talk to me
But my attitude is boy, don't waste your time
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
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 on
Sleeping with the television on
