Let’s meet in a respectable dive • On the somewhat safe street • And have a beer • We’ve both kept our eyes on the ball We know the lyrics to them all These songs of fear • And baby I love you • And I do not want to lose you • But I’m not able to put my cards on the table • And if you only knew of the hand that I’m holding • You would be blushing • And I am so far from bluffing • In this respectable dive • I know that we never play cards or write postcards • When we’re both in the same town • But still I remember some notes on the kitchen counter • Back from work I’ve found • And baby I love you • And I do not want to lose you • But I’m not able to put my cards on the table • And if you only knew of the hand I was holding • You would be blushing • And I am so far from bluffing • In this respectable dive • Baby I love you • And I do not want to lose you • Baby I love you • And I do not want to lose you
