The night was black with thunder
the streets were wet with rain
another day goes under
a little bourbon will take the strain
and i'm waiting for my take-home french fries
she smiled and said 'take me away'
we always laughed but i think she means it
but i'm dreaming my life away
loving you
loving you the way that i do
The weekend cars are leaving
in a spray of wind and sound
the bar-talk, make believing
and the drinks go easy down
it's back to the all-night take-away
she says 'here comes the man of my dreams'
we always laugh but i think she means it
and i'm spending my time
just loving you
loving you the way that i do
