Joan Armatrading - Someone's In The Background lyrics

Someone's in the background

While we're on the phone

Giving you the answers

Where do they get

All this information

And how

Put'em on the phone right now

I want to pick their brains tonight

They can tell me where I'm going wrong

They can tell me how to make love

Put'em on the phone right now

I want to talk to the stealer

They can tell me how they hurt inside

Because they know how much I'm hurting

They can say that when a good love dies

I'll find some comfort in my memories

Someone made you question

The love we had

The love we had

Should have lasted a thousand years

You've been persuaded that was way too long

Put'em on the phone right now

I want to talk to the person

Who taught you how to spread your wings

Communication breakdown

I thought you cared

I thought you cared

When did we get to this position

And how

Tell me on the phone right now

You're going to sleep on your own tonight

I can find you out in a lie

You can't disguise the passion

I'm coming round there now

I want to see this angel

Once you're caught

Then there's no turning back

Like a rat you won't escape the trap

Tell me on the phone right now

You're going to sleep on your own tonight

I can find you out in a lie

You can't disguise the passion

And you can say that now our love has died

I'll find some comfort in my memories
