When the sun goes downI open up my window for hours and I watchEvery passing strangerEvery early shadow, I wonder if it's you Always I'm dreaming, and recklessly scheming How to get you back in my life I want you now And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how I won't take no for an answerEvery empty eveningThe sailors sit downstairs, drinking 'til they fightShout and raucous laughterSounds of breaking glass shatter through the night The men from the circus are juggling with knives The acrobats fall just like you I want you now And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how I won't take no for an answer I won't take no for an answerNow you're miles away'Cross the sea, out of reach, unheardI've cried to you for helpBut the wind blows away all my wordsYou sat there once beside meWhere the actors play, you kissed me every nightWhen you left you promisedYou'd soon be back to stay, and it would be alright Now I'm abandoned, my letters unanswered Got to get you back in my life I want you now (I want you now) And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how (I've told you how) I won't take no for an answer I want you now (I want you now) And I'm prepared to take chances I've told you how (I've told you how) I won't take no for an answer
