Such a drag to want something sometime One thing leads to another I know Was a time wanted you for mine Nobody knew
You arrived like a day And passed like a cloud I made a wish, I said it out loud
Out loud in a crowd Everybody heard 'Twas the talk of the town
It's not my place to know what you feel I'd like to know but why should I? Who were you then, who are you now? Common laborer by night, by day highbrow
Back in my room I wonder, then I Sit on the bed, look at the sky Up in the sky Clouds rearrange Like the talk of the town
Maybe tomorrow (4x) You've changed your place in this world (2x)
Oh, but it's hard to live by the rules I never could and still never do The rules and such never bothered you You call the shots and they follow
I watch you still from a distance then go Back to my room, you never know I want you, I want you but now Who's the talk of the town?
