Squeeze - Pinocchio lyrics

(Difford/Tilbrook)

Swallow me say swallow me

Take me to your nest of china dolls

Call me up your closest friend

Join me in my neighbourhood patrol

Happy me say happy me

Chinese whispers bounce from ear to ear

The night is young I feel so old

See the stars above the night's so clear

I used to come home late and lie, lie, lie

She used to see through that but still I tried

I couldn't cover up the tracks I'd made

That's how it used to be but not today

Race around I race around

Focused on the here and now with you

Every smile's a valentine

What harm can a little loving do

Fall about then fall about

Drunk on love I can't stand on my feet

Before I try please take my hand

I've so many words left I should eat

Tickle me please tickle me

Laughter climbs the walls above our bed

This night we have is built on love

Help me so I do not lose the thread

Swallow me say swallow me

Happy me say happy me

Race around I race around

Fall about then fall about

Tickle me say tickle me

Love me do sing love me do
