Pinocchio

(difford/tilbrook)

Swallow me say swallow me
Take me to your nest of china dolls
Call me up your closest friend
Join me in my neighbourhood patrol
Happy me say happy me
Chinese whispers bounce from ear to ear
The night is young i feel so old
See the stars above the night's so clear
I used to come home late and lie, lie, lie
She used to see through that but still i tried
I couldn't cover up the tracks i'd made
That's how it used to be but not today

Race around i race around
Focused on the here and now with you
Every smile's a valentine
What harm can a little loving do
Fall about then fall about
Drunk on love i can't stand on my feet
Before i try please take my hand
I've so many words left i should eat

Tickle me please tickle me
Laughter climbs the walls above our bed
This night we have is built on love
Help me so i do not lose the thread

Swallow me say swallow me
Happy me say happy me
Race around i race around
Fall about then fall about
Tickle me say tickle me
Love me do sing love me do
