What did the detective say?
He didn't say nothing actually
Just asked us what we're doin' sitting in the car
I said we were waiting for the lights to change
He said boys! You're actin' mighty strange
Boys! If I were you...
Boys! I wouldn't do... 
I wouldn't do what you were gonna do.

Well I hopped back into the car 
Wound the window up tight
Well we couldn't help laughing 
When uh he came over and he opened the door
Boys! What are you laughing for?
Boys! Out on your feet
Boys! We're going down
We're going down to Russell Street

Boys!

It's peculiar.
Something must be amiss.
You're holding back
When we kiss.
Where's that love?
It's in your eye.
You didn't even telephone
You expect me to let you in.
Well, maybe I will
But don't you forget...

You ain't home yet. (You ain't home yet.)
You ain't home yet. (You ain't home yet.)

Walk the streets
Stayed out as long as I could.
All that walking.
Understood.
Knock-knocked at your door.
Ain't gonna take this thing anymore.
Just gonna walk on by.
????  ??  ?????
I cannot forget.

You ain't home yet. (You ain't home yet.)
You ain't home yet.

Well, I need help
And I need it fast.
I need you
So love's gonna last.
Come back baby.
It's a - it's your man.
Sky was fallin',
Sky was black
Everything is just a Total blank.
Hearth sits cold
But I cannot forget.

You ain't home yet. (You ain't home yet.)
You ain't home yet. (You ain't home yet.)
You ain't home yet. (You ain't home yet.)
You ain't home yet. (You ain't home yet.)
You ain't home

Talked to the postman.
Said, "Don't give up, Kid."
Write me a letter
But you never did.
Standing on the steps
I was waiting at the altar.
Heart gives out
My feet start to falter.

Sis says, "It's okay."
I gotta learn to relax.
"Don't get upset till you
Get all the facts."
Hand me an envelope
With a telegram
Says she's run off
With the Best Man.

"I mailed it to your sister.
Yeah I sent it yesterday.
If it don't arrive
Yeah, you'll survive.
You'll do okay."  (You'll do okay)

Dressed up, killin'.
Got nowhere to go.
Tell me the night's young.
"What?" I wanna know.
What's a boy supposed to do to get by?
They say life isn't easy but how hard are you supposed to try?

"I mailed it to your sister.
Yeah I sent it yesterday.
If it don't arrive
Yeah, you'll survive.
You'll do okay."  (You'll do okay)

I ate, dejected, I'm starin' at my feet.
Red car revved up out in the street.
I've been jilted,
Feel wilted.
I'm a fool.
How come they didn't teach me this junk
Back in school?
"I mailed it to your sister.
Yeah I sent it yesterday.
If it don't arrive
Yeah, you'll survive.
You'll do okay."

I keep looking over my shoulder
I wake up at night
There's a moonlight
Running right across the room

A boy's hungry for his little girl
With her little girl lies
Sweet nuisance eyes
No one tell me just what it is

You can laugh
All that you like
Come here turn out the light
You're not so polite
In fact you're just like the rest

Well I don't want to look
She got me on such a tenderhook
It makes me feel
Yeah dangerous
You make me feel
So reckless

And it's a rainy afternoon
Watching the whores in the traffic
And I see that little girl running towards me
Wrapped up against the night

You can laugh
All that you like
Come here turn out the light
You're not so polite
In fact you're just like the rest

Well I don't want to look
She got me on such a tenderhook
It makes me feel
Yeah dangerous
You make me feel
So reckless

Well I can feel a new expression on my face
Well I can feel a new sensation taking place
Well I can hear guitars playing lovely tunes
Everytime that you walk in the room

Well I might try to imagine that you might want 
Me well I try to act nonchalont
A sunny ?winter day in?
Magic moon oh yeah
Every time that you walk in the room

Maybe it's a dream come true
Walking arm in arm with you
Wish I could tell you just how I feel
But I only have to say

That I can feel something pounding in my brain
Just about anytime someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound
And I hear thunder boom
Everytime that you walk in the room

Well everytime that you walk in the room
Everytime that you walk in the room

Rockabilly Billy bought an engagement ring
Gave it to his girl and she didn't say a thing
And now he's getting worried
Cause he sold his guitar

At school he was a fool
They thought he was an idiot
Had a look in his eye
And he used to laugh a lot
Said he couldn't take it
Said he didn't care care
Left and got a job pumpin' gas oh yeah

Gonna rent a place on the outskirts of town

  Her mother thinks he's crazy
  Her father does as well

Before he paid a deposit on an engagement ring

Used to be a wild boy
And be out every night
Putting money in the jukebox and burning the light

Got a moon on a string
Well I tried to make some sense
But I can't ??????

Gonna take a trip

I couldn't sleep last night
I was not sleepy
I guess I must have been dreaming
I sailed a ship out at sea

Came a mysterious girl
She was carrying this letter
She said  you must drink this
It'll make you feel better

She said it's good isn't it
I said oh my yes it is
?????  her back was turned
I vanished

I put the light on
It makes my blood run cold
Well I don't need a rest
I just getting old

Well she was looking at me
I lit a cigarette
There came a moment
Well I never could forget
I fell into the water
Kicked my legs and I swam
I tried to figure out
How I'd gotten into this jam

I put the light on
I said I couldn't sleep at all
Well I was watching the shadows
And they were dancing up and down the walls
I put the light on

Well she came back into the cabin
And she did what she had to do
She left a note pinned to the door
Told me when she was through

Well my head it was spinning
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
I was hot and I was shaking
Yes I fell onto the bed

Well exactly what happened
I tell you I still do not know
But I got right out of there
While there was still time to go

I put the light on
I said I couldn't sleep at all
Well i was watching the shadows
And they were dancing up and down the walls
I put the light on
