Jonathan it’s late, yeah, well don’t you think that I
should go
why? we were just starting to talk now,
It was just getting good don’t you know.
But if I leave here, yeah, in the morning.
What will the neighbors tell your wife?
I’ll worry about that
my wife knows me
I don’t want to let the neighbors run my life.
No, I don’t want to let the neighbors run my life, no
no.
well
Well it would look suspicious, I suppose
And I know why they’d want to know
They like my wife
They don’t want her hurt and so
If that’s all they see
I wouldn’t blame ‘em if they go and tell my wife
but my wife knows me
So I don’t need to let the neighbors run my life.
No, no, no need to let the neighbors run my life, no
no.
see what I mean?
Here we are down the street, yeah?
Here we are hand in hand. Yeah?
You’re close to me people might misunderstand?
yeah, they could
If that’s all they see,
I suppose they’d go and tell my wife
But my wife knows me better than that
I have no need to let the neighbors run my life.
No, no need to let the neighbors run my life, no no.
you know this reminds me of something
when I was over at Jill’s house, uh huh
when Ed was away, oh brother, wait a minute
all we did incidently was stay up night talkin, is that
what they call it now?
yeah we had a lot to say, I bet you did, don’t talk
about it like that
I just, in fact, I left her
she said jonathan if you stay, rumours will be ripe
and that’s one way of handling it i guess
here’s what I don’t like
you see I don’t like to let the neighbors run my life,
no
I just can’t stand to let the neighbors run my life, no
no
that’s right, no no
no no
