The night was black with thunder The streets were wet with rain Another day goes under A little bourbon will take the strain And i'm waiting for my take-home french fries She smiled and said 'take me away' We always laughed but i think she means it But i'm dreaming my life away Loving you Loving you the way that i do The weekend cars are leaving In a spray of wind and sound The bar-talk, make believing And the drinks go easy down It's back to the all-night take-away She says 'here comes the man of my dreams' We always laugh but i think she means it And i'm spending my time Just loving you Loving you the way that i do
