People in love do funny things Walk under buses and burn their wings People like us do nothing right Talk to the ceiling into the night Look at the smile in her eyes I knew I was right in my bones I feel the turnin' of wheels as it grows Look at my face in her eyes Am I right, am I wrong She's given me butterflies all along Oh sitting alone in the dark Oh feeling you close to me We're in a dream But the hands on the clock seem to know Tell me it's time to go People in love play silly games Running in circles and everywhere People like us can make believe Love is forever and I'll never be Ooh sitting alone in the dark Ooh feeling you close to me We're in a dream But the hands on the clock seem to know Tell us it's time to go
