Sleeping with the Television On

Lyrics

[Intro] Hey [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
