Don’t Sleep In The Subway Lyrics By Petula Clark

    you wander around
    on your own little cloud
    when you don’t see the why
    or the wherefore

    ooh you walk out on me
    when we both disagree
    ’cause to reason is not what you care for

    i’ve heard it all a million times before
    take off your coat my love and close the door

    don’t sleep in the subway darlin’
    don’t stand in the pouring rain
    don’t sleep in the subway darlin’
    the night is long
    forget your foolish pride
    nothing’s wrong
    now you’re beside me again

    you try to be smart
    then you take it apart
    ’cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
    ummumumumum
    you don’t realize
    that it’s all compromise
    and the problems are so overrated

    goodbye means nothing when it’s all for show
    so why pretend you’ve somewhere else to go

    don’t sleep in the subway darlin’
    don’t stand in the pouring rain
    don’t sleep in the subway darlin’
    the night is long
    forget your foolish pride
    nothing’s wrong
    now you’re beside me again

    oh oh oh
    don’t sleep in the subway darlin’
    don’t stand in the pouring rain
    don’t sleep in the subway darlin’
    the night is long
    forget your foolish pride
    nothing’s wrong
    now you’re beside me again

    oh oh oh oh oh

    repeat and fade out
