Lyrics
You grabbed me and held me tight
Said 'Don't leave, don't go outside tonight
I said 'What about your wife and your kids?'
You gave me a kiss and said
'You're way too good for this
Dry clean my best black dress
Put it on and wrap those pearls around my neck
Meet in an out of the way place
Where we're sure no one will recognize your face
I can't hide the loneliness inside
Can't fill it with a million stars
Can't fill it with that deep blue sky
I can't hide the lonely fool inside
Still falling for the wrong lover
Still dying each time
Dusty motels and cold sheets
Text messages sent while she sleeps
Never wake in the same bed
Count the hours that you spend with her instead
I can't hide the loneliness inside
Can't fill it with a million stars
Can't fill it with that deep blue sky
I can't hide the lonely fool inside
Still falling for the wrong lover
Still dying each time
Meet me tonight at 10 o'clock at the Café Delight
Leave your ring on the dressing table
Don't even say a thing
Shhh - don't even say a thing
Shhh - don't even say a thing
And I can't hide the loneliness inside
Can't fill it with a million stars
Can't fill it with that deep blue sky
I can't hide that lonely fool inside
Still falling for the wrong lover
Still dying each time
Still falling for the wrong lover
Die a little more each night ...
