The Neighbors

(专辑： Jonathan Sings! - 1983)

Well Jonathan, it's late (Yeah)
Well, don't you think that I should go (Why?)
We were just starting to talk now
It was just getting good, don't you know?

But if I leave here (Yeah?)
In the morning
What will the neighbours tell your wife?
I'll worry about that!
My wife knows me
I don't wanna let the neighbours run my life (no)
I don't wanna let the neighbours run my life (no no)

(Well)

Well, it would look suspicious, I suppose
And I know why they'd want to know
They like my wife
They don't want to hurt her and so

If that's all they see
I wouldn't blame 'em if they go and tell my wife
But my wife knows me
So I don't need to let the neighbours run my life
No, no need to let the neighbours run my life (no no)
(See what I mean?)

Here we are down the street (Yeah?)
Here we are hand in hand (Yeah)
You're close to me, people might misunderstand

Yeah, they could
If that's all they see
I suppose they go and tell my wife
But my wife knows me better than that
I have no need to let the neighbours run my life (no)
No need to let the neighbours run my life (no no)
(You know this reminds me of something...)

I was over to his house (Mhm)
When Eddie was away (Oh, grace...)
What about? We were just talking (Talking?)
Talking. We had a many things to discuss (Sure you did)
First I showed her the daily newspaper. That's right
Then I showed her the funnies
There was no other business that that, I don't really know what the whole point was
I just intened to not let the neighbours run my life, you know (no)
No need to let the neighbours run my life (no no)
No, of course, not
That's right!
(No no)
