Lyrics
Outside the rain
And the heart skips a beat
So you're lonely
Creature of the night
It's been almost a week
Can you love me only
Look at me, for a very long time
Long enough to know
Love is a word - I've been trying to find
Words don't matter
They don't matter at all
Maybe it's only a dream
I don't want to feel that
Well it's one more link - in the chain
I don't believe that
So you're still lonely
You say that it's been forever
Maybe you never knew me -
Maybe you thought that
I'd never change - but
You know I'm changing
- You're wrong -
And it's been like dying -
No love's that hard to find -
And I'm tired of -
I'm tired of trying
Outside the rain
And the heart skips a beat
So you're lonely
Look in my eyes
Touch my face
Baby, there's no one
That can take my place
Look in my eyes, touch my face
Baby there's no one that
Can ever replace that - heartache
Take away that heartache
Love is a word that some entertain
If you find it
You have won the game
Somebody said
"Outside the rain..."
