You saw my indecision, raised me walks on the waterfront,
took my confusion, divined me a smoking gun.
You rocked steadily between affection and dejection.
I mistook you to be just a friendly confection.
[Chorus]
When the lights are low
I just want to know
you'll stand steady for me
won't get heavy with me.
We'll watch the sunrise
but don't be surprised
if I look past your eyes
you'd better recognize
I've never been your baby.
You kept me on my toes and danced me onto eggshells
and though they broke with every step you kept me under your spell.
I denied you my private eye
you didn't need to see me to collect your heart's supply.
And though I never loved you you kept my heart a-pounding,
boy, you know I don't like the feeling of being surrounded.
