10cc - Shock On The Tube (don't Want Love) lyrics

I was traveling home on the subway

When this vision got on at Maida Vale

And as I casually eyed the classifieds

She sat down next to me

Every head in the carriage was wondering

I replied with a smile on my face

And as I slipped into the arms of Morpheus

To daydream the rest of the way

She was a smooth operator

You could see it in her dress

I said I'd like to see you later

But I didn't want to press

I was homing like a scanner

Did a mental strip tease

But she knew that she was special

And she came on like a tease

Don't want love

Just looking for happiness

Don't want love

Not looking for tenderness

Don't want love

Just looking for happiness

Don't want love

She was a headstrong woman

With a demon in her blood

Through the window in her eyes

I saw fire in her soul

And I knew if I pursued it

My fingers would be burned

Like a moth round a candle

I was momentarily stunned

Don't want love

Just looking for happiness

Don't want love

Not looking for tenderness

Don't want love

Just looking for happiness

Don't want love

The carriage was spinning

We were up on the floor

She was whirling like a dervish

I was whirling like a fool

My reactions were dimming

Like an alcoholic haze

I could hear people clapping

I was stumbling in a daze

I was stumbling in a daze

My eyes tried to focus

I was suddenly aware

She was newborn naked

I was altogether bare

There were shouts all around us

There were clothes on the floor

As I tried to find my senses

I was sliding down the door

Down a coal black tunnel

I was slipping away

Then I felt the water hit me

And I heard somebody say

Better get yourself together

This is the end of the line

When I looked for my woman

I'd been dreaming all the time

Don't want love

Just looking for happiness

Don't want love

Not looking for tenderness

Don't want love

Just looking for happiness

Don't want love
