Going out isn’t very fun Whether cool nights or drinking orange sun I know She wants me to Take her out and act like I’ve got a clue Just what to do I don’t care for endless night mixers Staying late and hearing speeches slur You’d expect A guy like me Liking this but contrary to your belief This causes me great grief What do you got to lose Playing with those blues? Who do you think will stay and who will go? But does that show Who they really are? By myself, I bathe in all the light Little lanterns come out in the night But she tries To bring me down Take me out and drag me across all the town To show me around Cloudy skies bring me up to my feet City sleeps while I conduct my beat
Then she calls Me up again As I pretend to have something else better to do If only she knew What do you got to lose Playing with those blues? Who do you think will stay and who will go? But does that show Who they really are? I don’t want to pick up my phone I just want to be left alone I don’t think she even has a clue Every day I wake up to her Every night I feel like a blur I just want to fly far away She knows that my love is still there But deep down I’m feeling despair I can’t put my thoughts into words Lightning cracks and thunder rumbles Can’t relax as I start to tumble Down into the spiral of my mind Oh I just want to play My Rhodes
