Hey
ย
Well, I've been watchin' 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 waitin'
For somebody good to come on (all night long, all night long)
But you'll be sleepin' with the television on
ย
Hey
ย
Oh, you say you're lookin' 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 mornin', 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 sleepin' with the television on
Your eyes are sayin', "Talk to me," (talk to me)
But your attitude is, "Don't waste my time," (talk to me, talk to me)
Your eyes are sayin', "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 standin' here 'cause I know I don't have
The guts to come on (all night long, all night long)
And I'll be sleepin' with the television on
Your eyes are sayin', "Talk to me," (talk to me)
But my attitude is, "Boy, don't waste the time," (talk to me, talk to me)
Your eyes are sayin', "Talk to me, talk to me"
But I won't say a word 'cause it
Just might be somebody else's same old line
ย
All night long, all night long
We're just be standin' here 'cause somebody might do
Somebody wrong (all night long, all night long)
And we'll be sleepin' with the television on
Sleeping with the television
Sleeping with the television
Sleeping with the television on
Oh, sleeping with the television on
