Lets meet in a respectable dive
On the somewhat safe streetAnd have a beer
Weve both kept our eyes on the ball
We know the lyrics to them allThese songs of fear
These songs of fear
And baby I love you
And I dont want to lose you
But Im not able to put my cards on the table
And only if you knew of the hand Im 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 were both in the same town
But still I remember some notes on the kitchen counter
Back from work Ive found
And baby I love you
And I do not want to lose you
But Im not able to put my cards on the table
And only if you knew of the hand Im holding
You would be blushing
And I am so far from bluffing
In this respectable dive
Baby I love you
And do not want to lose you
Baby I love you
And do not want to lose you
