Acting very strange

If I step into the light

And hold it in my hand

Nothing left to see,

Nothing left for me, anyway

I feel the world is slipping

Out of reach (I'm all alone)

It's a memory

It's a memory that used to be



In a little while

I know it'll be too late

Somebody help me, please

Cos you're acting very strange

You're acting very strange

You're acting very strange

You're acting very strange



Oh, you never come here any more

You never even call

To see if I'm alright

Get me through the night

Like you used to do



In a little while

I know it'll be too late

Now I'm certain

That you're acting very strange

You're acting very strange

You're acting very strange

You're acting very strange



Another lonely day without you, oh

I'm acting very strange without you, oh

Another lonely day without you, oh

I'm acting very strange without you, oh



Oh, the place is getting very hot

I'm afraid to stay

Something's going on

Something's very wrong with you and me

If I reach out to touch your face

There's nothing there to touch

It's a memory

It's a memory of you and me



In a little while

I know it'll be too late

Now I'm certain

That you're acting very strange

You're acting very strange

You're acting very strange

You're acting very strange



I'm acting very strange without you, oh

Another lonely day without you, oh

I'm acting very strange without you, oh

Another lonely day without you, oh



You're acting very strange...



I'm acting very strange without you, oh...

There's a light in every window

And it's shining on your door

It's put there to remind you

Of what you must answer for

Have you never had this feeling

There's nothin' you must hide

No day to remember

No day to recall



Every day is just another day

Every way is just another way

So try to remember

Please try to recall

Why don't you believe me, oh

Why don't you believe me, oh



And in a moment's hesitation

Your defences are down

And your secret is out, it is out



Nightmares keep coming

Your dreams get confused

As you try to remember

The way that you were used

But you'll have forgotten

You can't recall

The way that it happened

And the things that you saw



Every face is just another face

Every place is just another place

That haunts you forever,

The day you can't hide

Why don't you believe me, oh

Why don't you believe me, oh



And in a moment's hesitation

Your defences are down

And your secret is out, is out



Someone points a finger

Someone knows the truth

'Bout the day you've been hiding

The day you were used

But the nightmares keep coming

Your dreams get confused

As you try to remember

As you try to recall

But you know in your heart

Someone will find



That day you remember

That day you can't hide



That day you remember

That day you can't hide

Maxine, well have you been?

Maxine, long time no see

Maxine, such a surprise

Maxine, just look out tonight



I hear you been livin' in Paris

Under an assumed fame

They say that you've been married

If not in passion at least in name

Damn you, girl, it still hurts me

No man was ever safe, yeah

Taming the shrew comes easy

If any man knew your taste, Maxine



Maxine, how times have changed

Maxine, well nothing's the same

Maxine, everything's gone

Maxine, your home ain't your own



You suit those European clothes

In a foreign sort of way

You still wear that air of distinction

In your fatefully stunning way

Damn you, girl, it still hurts me

And the years just made it worse

In fact our love is divided

Between the blessed and the cursed, Maxine



Maxine, don't bring back the past

Maxine, life is too fast

Maxine, oh everything's changed

Maxine, nothing's the same

Maxine, Maxine



I do remember, do you remember

I still remember, do you remember

I still remember, do you still -



Maxine...

Oh, I think I know the story

I've been hiding it for so long

Are you running away?

Cos I'm in love with you

There's nothing you can do

I'm in love with you



Why when we get halfway there

Why when we get halfway started

Why when we get halfway there

Do I feel it's so half-hearted?



(Make up your mind) making up your mind

(Better decide) you better decide this time

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing



I'm not afraid to tell the truth

I've been hiding it for so long

Oh, I think you already know

That I'm in love with you, with you



Why when we get halfway there

Why when we get halfway started

Why when we get halfway there

Do I feel it's so half-hearted?



(Make up your mind) making up your mind

(Better decide) you better decide this time

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing



Why when we get halfway there

Why when we get halfway started

Why when we get halfway there

Do I feel it's so half-hearted?



(Give me a sign) why don't you give me?

(Give me a line) why don't you believe me?

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing

Why when we get halfway there

Why when we get halfway there



(Make up your mind) making up your mind

(Better decide) you better decide this time

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing



(Make up your mind) why did you do it?

(Better decide) why can't you believe it?

How can you call this loving?

You know it's all or nothing...

They think they know me

But they couldn't be more wrong

They're not hearing what I'm singing

When I sing my song

They say I'm aimless

They don't know I've got a plan

Mystified by me

They don't understand



They tried out pocket-book psychology

They'd better think again

When they try sussing me



Who is fooling who

Who is fooling, who is fooling

Who is fooling, who is fooling who



They think they know me

But they couldn't be more wrong

They're not listening what I'm singing

When I'm singing out this song

Well they think they know me

But they haven't got a clue

I'm the one who knows

Who is fooling who



They think I'm an open book

But they can't see

They're in the darkroom

When it comes to reading me



Who is fooling who

Who is fooling, who is fooling

Who is fooling, who is fooling who



You think you're with me

But you couldn't be more wrong

They're not following me closely

But they only trail along

Who do you think is fooling who

It could be me who's fooling you, hey hey



Who's been fooling who

Who's been fooling who



I won't say you're lacking

But you just have no idea

You're not hearing what I'm singing

Though I'm singing loud and clear

You'll never make it

As a player in my band

We can't have that

Oh no, who is fooling who



You think I'm no good

But there's nothing I can do

Think again

I know who is fooling who



I am the one who knows

Who is fooling who, oh

Think once again, I know

Who is fooling who, oh



Who is fooling who



I am the one who knows

Who is fooling who, oh

Think once again, I know

Who is fooling who, oh

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

They are all protesting, you're luckier than the rest



You were the last one, to find out what you want

While all your friends went, chasing their careers

They called you crazy and said you'd never make it

They all  moved out to their suburbia that year

Life is so good, no one else could see it

It never stopped you from hawkin' it around



You knew you had it, long before they found it

Everywhere the doors slammed, everybody turned you down (but)



Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

They are all protesting, it's only luck at best



Now fame has hit you, old friends keep on calling

And all the slamming doors are taken off the hinge

They all remember the encouragement they gave you

You have to turn each time and try to hide a grin

It's good to be there, they said you'd never make it

That satisfaction's feeling good to know



You knew you had it, long before they found it

Everywhere the doors slammed, everybody turned you down (but)



Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

They are all protesting, you're luckier than the rest



Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

Couldn't get arrested

You're luckier than the rest

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

Couldn't get arrested

You're luckier than the rest

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing everything you had



Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

Couldn't get arrested

You're luckier than the rest

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

You keep on investing

You're luckier than the rest

Couldn't get arrested, couldn't get arrested

I suppose you think I'm crazy

I suppose you think I'm mad

You will never understand

Why I'm alone, oh I'm alone, but I



Such a lot of information

Such a lot of useless talk

And there is no way to avoid it

So I'm alone, oh I'm alone, but I



I don't think I wanna know...



I don't think I wanna know

And I don't think I wanna know



Ask all the questions

Answer all the lies

Many men have told me

That you wouldn't be surprised

I'm so alone, I'm so alone, but I



I don't think I wanna know...



I don't think I wanna know

I don't need this information

Information...



But I think I'll find an answer

If you'll just give me the chance

There are people in the world today

Who won't even question that

They don't need this information



And now I'm asking you, the only way I know

And you are telling me you cannot keep control

If you think of me

If you think of me the way I am

If you think of me and what I mean

If you think of me the way I ask you now



I don't think I wanna know...



I don't wanna be another fool...

When the day is weary

All the things that we have said

Take on a different meaning

Now the world has gone to bed

I need to feel you near me

Put your arms around me now

And we will stay together

Watch the world go by somehow



It's a dream I thought we might have had

But it's too late, I'm losing you



Hideaway, till the night comes back to me

Hideaway, until the sun comes up again

I will hideaway, till your love comes back to me

Hideaway, until somebody sets me free

You never, oh never know



When the streets are empty

Not a soul is to be found

And the wind around us

Covers every other sound

As you turn the corner

See my light up on the hill

All I'll ever ask you

Is you'll stay with me until



It's a dream I thought we might have had

But it's too late, I'm losing you



Hideaway, till the night comes back to me

Hideaway, until the sun comes back to me

Hideaway, till your love comes back to me

Hideaway, until somebody sets me free

You never, oh never know

Until darling, nothing left to show



Hideaway, till the night comes back to me

Hideaway, until the sun comes up again

Until somebody, hideaway

And your love comes back, comes back to me

Hideaway, until somebody sets me free

Until somebody, yeah, oh never know

'Til darling...
