I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you smiling
My heart was terrorised
Lust among the millions
Another suicide
Chorus:
When I think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
A hand reached out to touch me
A letter hit the pile
I felt my life revolving
Like fingers in a dial
Just then I stopped believing
But only for a while
When I think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
The pain we share
While they just talk about it
While they just talk about it
When I think that love was there
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't give it up
Don't count on their loving
Don't give it up, don't try
Don't give it up
Don't count on their loving
Dont give it up, don't try
Don't wanna talk about it
Don't wanna talk about it
(chorus)
When I think that love was there
I was staring at the people
Lost and terrified
Turned and saw you crying
A victim of your pride
But you are no civilian
So open up your eyes
(chorus)VERSE:
To the tables down at Morey's,
To the place where Louie dwells,
To the dear old Temple Bar we love so well,
Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled
With their glasses raised on high,
And the magic of their singing cast its spell.
Yes, the magic of their singing,
Of the songs we love so well,
"Shall l Wasting" and "Mavourneen" and the rest,
We will serenade our Louie!
While life and voice shall last!
Then we'll pass and be forgotten like the rest.
CHORUS:
We're poor little lambs
Who have lost our way
Baa, baa baa!
We're little black sheep
Who have gone a-stray
Baa, baa, baa!
Gentlemen songsters off on a spree
Doomed from here to eternity
Lord, have mercy on such as we
Baa, baa, baa!
