Billy Joel Sleeping With The Television On Lyrics

Sleeping With The Television On Lyrics

I've been watching you waltz all night Diane
Nobody's found a way behind your
defenses
They never notice the zap gun in your hand
Until you're pointing
it and stunning their senses

All night long, all night long
You'll
shoot 'em down because you're waiting for somebody good to come on
All night
long, all night long
But you're sleeping with the television on

You
say you're looking for someone solid here
You can't be bothered with those
'just for the night' boys
Tonight unless you take some kind of chances
dear
Tomorrow morning you'll wake up with a white noise

All night
long, all night long
You're only standing there 'cause somebody once did
somebody wrong
All night long, all night long
But you'll be sleeping with
the television on

You're eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
But
your attitude is "don't waste my time"
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk
to me
But you won't hear a word 'cause it just might be the same old
line

This isn't really easy for me to say Diane
I know you don't need
anybody's protection
I really wish I was less of a thinking man
And more a
fool who's not afraid of rejection

All night long, all night long
I'll
just be standing here 'cause I know I don't have the guts to come on
All
night long, all night long
And I'll be sleeping with the television
on

You're eyes are saying talk to me, talk to me
But my attitude is
"boy, don't waste my time"
Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to
me
But I won't say a word 'cause it just might be somebody else's same old
line

All night long, all night long
We're only standing here 'cause
somebody might do somebody wrong
All night long, all night long
And we'll
be sleeping with the television on
Sleeping with the television
on
Sleeping with the television on
