Sleeping With The Television On -- Billy Joel lyrics
by Billy Joel



I've been watching you waltz all night DianeNobody's found a way behind your defensesThey never notice the zap gun in your handUntil you're pointing it and stunning their sensesAll night long, all night longYou'll shoot 'em down because you're waiting for somebody good to come onAll night long, all night longBut you'll be sleeping with the television onYou say you're looking for someone solid hereYou can't be bothered with those `just for the night' boysTonight unless you take some kind of chances dearTomorrow morning you'll wake up with the white noiseAll night long, all night longYou're only standing there 'cause somebody once did somebody wrongAll night long, all night longBut you'll be sleeping with the television onYour eyes are saying talk to me, talk to meBut your attitude is "don't waste my time"Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to meBut you won't hear a word 'cause it just might be the same old lineThis isn't easy for me to say DianeI know you don't need anybody's protectionI really wish I was less of a thinking manAnd more a fool who's not afraid of rejectionAll night long, all night longI'll just be standing here 'cause I know I don't have the guts to come onAll night long, all night longAnd I'll be sleeping with the television onYour eyes are saying talk to me, talk to meBut my attitude is "boy, don't waste your time"Your eyes are saying talk to me, talk to meBut I won't say a word 'cause it just might be somebody else's same old lineAll night long, all night longWe're only standing here 'cause somebody might do somebody wrongAll night long, all night longAnd we'll be sleeping with the television onSleeping with the television onSleeping with the television on
