There's a cat in my alleyway Dreaming of birds that are blue Sometimes, girl, when I'm lonely This is how I think about you There are times that I want you I want you so much I could burst I know a thing about lovers Lovers lie down in trust Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway The people next door got their problems They got things they can't name I know a thing about lovers Lovers don't feel any shame Late at night with the lights down low The candle burns to the end I know a thing about darkness Darkness ain't my friend Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway I'm gonna make you happy I'm gonna spin you around I'm gonna cut your strings I put my foot flat down on the floor I took it as far as I could I took it down there to Sheridan Street By the dark wood Late at night when I want you I lock you in my room I know a thing about darkness I know a thing about lovers I know a thing about lovers Lovers want the moon Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway Love goes on anyway
