When You're in Love
Chris Bathgate
When your arms were only meant for one
And a world that is buzzing becomes a quiet hum
and the rain is just the way to clean off all the dust
instead of ruining the day
I felt the cold but I did not shiver
my coat was open despite the weather
cause when you're in love
yeah you don't feel a thing
you're on his arm for a main street promenade
and I'm caught kickin' cans within my alleyway
my foot stopped short at the sight of you there
I didn't speak a word I just stood and stared
I saw him kiss you
but I did not shutter
my eyes were open as I watched him embrace her
when you're in love
yeah you don't feel a thing
It's 3:00 AM and I'm drunk out on the street
for a stoop squattin' smoke
in shameless shivering
and I spot your new beau
walking home from where you sleep
just one thought cuts through
"How come he's not lying there next to you?"
I called his name, he did not look over
but his coat was open, despite the weather
cause when you're in love
yeah you don't feel a thing
