spend a little time

i've been waking up every morning

not one ray of sunshine through my pane

i've been sleeping wrapped warm in sadness

yeah

not a smile upon my face

until one day

glad day

that you came along

i've been singing this song

trying to chase the frown away

hear me singing now

sadness

i can't be with you

i don't need your hand no more

laughter

i'd like to be with you

why don't you come knocking

knocking

knocking at my door

oh i'd like to spend a little time

baby

by your fire

i'd like to spend a little time

baby

by your door

and if he calls me

smile on baby

i'll come running

oh yeah yeah

just to spend a little time

baby

by your door
