Oh I've decided not to try To understand my life Grasp the forces that deny They grapple with my drive Oh, my heart full of pain So I follow my groin not my brain On a night like tonight I'm walking in the shallows Take me out, where it's bright I'm off the straight and narrow Feel alive. So won't you be my girl? Walking in the shallows Close your eyes. Hold me tight. Be alright. Oh I've decided not to try To understand my life Cos the wherefores and the whys Play havoc with my mind Oh, my heart full of pain I follow my groin not my brain On a night like tonight I'm walking in the shallows Take me out, where it's bright I'm off the straight and narrow I feel alive. So won't you be my girl? Walking in the shallows Close your eyes. Hold me tight. Be alright. I don't want to think I'm bored of time Spent wasting words on being kind I'd rather be a fool than be cruel.
