we watch you sleeping, that's what cats do
we live our lives completely dependant on you
we wait for food and cleaning and love, that's what cats do
and are lovers all that different
when we fall for someone new
doesn't everything comes second
to the new union of two
best friends and pets and family
important as they may be
are left waiting for you to come
to keep them company
we stay awake all night waiting for you
we watch you sleeping, that's what lovers do
we live our lives completely entangled with you
we wait for sharing food and love and life, that's what we do
and the people without lovers
live alone outside kiss
like stray cats and dogs
not knowing what they miss
all the time just longing for
what they do not understand
the feeling only lovers know
the touch the heart commands
and the people without lovers
live alone without a flame
like the chill of winter
in a place without a name
all the time just searching for
what is missing this life
the magic only lovers know
in two words husband and wife
and the people without lovers
live alone outside the charm
like a sing without a singer
like a hand without an arm
all the time reaching for something more
just beyond the reach it seems
the passion only lovers know
that fills and haunts their dreams
we stay awake all night waiting for you
people without lovers waiting for dreams to come true
we live our lives dreaming of a rendevous
with a lover, that's what people without lovers do
