lyrics

Court stenographer, read me the hours
Let the record show that she said,
"You're thinking of a love that can't be ours,
Take some time to clear your head"

And so, I heed your advice
Hold it high above my head
Call collect, no response
Heart of the beast and the will that I can't possess

Oh, if I had my druthers
I'd holler for you across a rainy street
As if - in other words - in my dreams
And you're making me blush

Court stenographer, read me the hours
Let the record show that she said,
"You're dreaming of a love that can't be ours,
Take some time to clear your head"

And so, I heed your advice
Hold it high above my head
Call collect, no response
Heart of the beast and the will that I can't possess

Oh, if I had my druthers
I'd holler for you across a rainy street
As if - in other words - in my dreams
And you're making me blush
