Witness - Lyrics by The Wallflowers


Lyrics
I'm standing outside your window, baby

And there you are

Another year, another candle's burning
for the party girl

No one even knows that you're there

Happy Birthday, no one cares


You come around here,

You'd better bring a witness

Everyone in here's on the guest list

And when you're gone you won't be missed

Keep one eye open
when you kiss


Your wishes won't be coming true this year

Now darling don't you cry

We're going to teach you everything

You'll learn to get by

Now lesson number one in homicide
is emotional murder is no crime


You come around here,
you'd better bring a witness

Everyone in here's on the guest list

And when you're gone you won't be missed

Keep one eye open
when you kiss


Now sticks and stones, baby, break your bones

But the names, in here, can kill

We'd let you leave
but no one else wants you

Your ransom was not made

Now you ain't got to stand up tall

But now baby, you must stand up


You come around here,
you'd better bring a witness

Everyone in here's on the guest list

Now we've never been so impressed

Keep one eye open when, whenever you kiss
