I know you're a lonely woman and I love you But someone else is waiting and he owns you If he should ever wake up, make sure that your story is straight love If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name And if you walk in your sleep forget where you came Walking every night here in the shadows So afraid that sometime he may follow There's always the chance he'll find us I don't need to remind you If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name If you walk in your sleep forget where you came Love is so much sweeter when it's borrowed I'll feel a little easier tomorrow Don't give our secret away, be careful what you say If you talk in your sleep don't mention my name If you walk in your sleep forget where you came Forget where you came, now Forget where you came Don't mention my name Don't mention my name Forget where you came
