Lyrics
I'm watching TV a Saturday night
What do I see But a middleweight boxing fight A right spar here, a left hook there Two in one combination A standard fare One fighter he tries the Ali shuffle Guess I'll change the channel 'Cause it's just another scuffle
It reminds me of me and you It reminds me of what we used to do
TV rerun watching James Dean Red jacket on, he looks like Martin Sheen I keep on thinking 'bout Natalie Wood She sure was looking awfully good That rebel may have looked so cool Heart's aflutter, but don't be fooled 'Cause in the end he still lost his fight Tough luck, sonny, life's not nice
It reminds me of me and you It reminds me of what we used to do It reminds me of high school Reminds me of five years of doing nothing Reminds me of five years without loving Yeah
I didn't blame anyone For what happened to me Full responsibility, you see If I came up, I went down I was fooled and I fooled around
You are the one that I'm after And you are the one, no disaster And you are the one I desire And you are the one that I require Tonight, oh honey, tonight That's right, honey, tonight
No more reruns Just a static on my channel Test pattern light Lights my room like a candle A time between the days Slips in like a vandal If I blink or tire I'll miss life's gamble
That's the time that I remember you And that's the time that I think of you And that's the time I remember what we used to do And that's the time I think of you But tonight you are the one I'm after You are the one, no more disasters You are the one I desire And you are the one I require Tonight, oh honey, tonight That's right, tonight, baby, tonight
You are the one that I'm after And you are the one, no more disasters You are the one I desire And you are the one that I require Tonight, oh honey, tonight Oh honey, that's right Tonight, baby, that's right...
