WHEN NO ONE'S AROUND

Tonight I'm alone
Been taking stock, my mind on you
Since I punched in, eyes on the clock
Standing in aisles with a broken heart                                                                      Packing out freight and reading these charts
Can't fool them much longer, their on to me
Looking busy pushing carts and pushing thirty, it's Friday

I'm working on who I am when no one’s around
But stay a little longer now, don't let me down
I'm just a man subdued by your charms
Like a boy when I'm in your arms

We need a relief, this town offers little
I take that hour drive, meet you in the middle
There's an old bar on Brighton Ave. that still stands
Where the losers tell you all their schemes and plans
I'll take you there

I'm working on who I am when no one’s around
But stay little girl, don't let me down
I'm just a man seduced by your charms
Like a child when I'm in your arms

As the dreamers sang an off key tune
My best lines persuade you to my room
Repenting our sins and masking the gloom
All that getting ready just to take it off
All them games you play just to get me uh
Making promises under warm covers
Talking about hard times and past lovers

I'm working on who I am when no one’s around
But stay little girl, don't let me down
I'm just a man seduced by your charms
Like a child when I'm in your arms

We don't wanna get older, yet we wouldn't go back
We dance for the man it's all just an act
They say not many dreams come true at best
The world needs farmers but baby that's for the rest
I'm taking my chances and betting on a guess
No matter if you're prayer is of fear or belief
Don't change the fact you're my relief, so stay awhile

I'm working on who I am when no one’s around
But stay with me girl, don't let me down
I'm just a man seduced by your charms…
I'm just a recluse in your arms
