Watching You - Lyrics by Melissa Etheridge


Lyrics
That's a good question

Why am I standing out here alone
I guess I don't know enough to come in from the rain
I was watching your window

From here below
I think I just might stay here all day

Cause I gotta do something


If I can't love you
I don't want to love you

If I can't hold you
I don't want to be thinking of you

And if you don't want me
I don't want to want you

And if you won't see me
I don't know what to do

But oh keep watching you

Until I see right through

Oh I keep watching you


You could throw me down a cigarette
I smoked my last one quite a while ago

No, I gave it to the man that swore he had no need

You know sometimes if I listen real close
I can hear the dark side of the moon

And there's always yesterday's Times if I care to read

And I gotta do something


If I can't love you
I don't want to love you

If I can't hold you
I don't want to be thinking of you

And if you don't want me
I don't want to want you

And if you won't see me
I don't know what to do

But oh keep watching you

Until I see right through

Oh I keep watching you


Sure I'm alright

No I'm not very cold

Every now and then I can feel the subway heat

So go on inside
I'll leave you alone

Anyway Bogart's on in the window down the street

And I gotta do something


If I can't love you
I don't want to love you

If I can't hold you
I don't want to be thinking of you

And if you don't want me
I don't want to want you

And if you won't see me
I don't know what to do

But oh keep watching you

Until I see right through

Oh I keep watching you
