The Magic Numbers - Roy Orbison lyrics

This is a warning sign For those reckless enough not to recognize Another tear, it falls If you surrender your desires against the wrecking ball Pray I'm drunk enough, darling, not to feel no more I came in alone and I'll die alone You know I will, baby, yeah Am I just running scared? With Roy Orbison still ringing in my ears Why don't you stay the night? Hear some people wait a lifetime just to hear those lines She dresses like a secret with her lips shut tight Swears "I hope that there's good reason you're alone" She says: "Boy, don't you know that I've waited to love you" It's easy if you let me just believe tonight Don't tease me, let me just believe tonight Well, I could tell you why But to tell you the truth I ain't the telling kind I thought I knew myself How many times I look now I see someone else The guilt is just a sickness that won't heal itself If I could right each wrong in this life of song You know I would, baby, yeah It's easy, let me just believe tonight Don't tease me, let me just believe tonight It's easy, let me just believe tonight Don't tease me, let me just believe tonight It's easy, let me just believe tonight Don't tease me, let me just believe tonight Together we can make it if we leave tonight You pack a lot of punch but have you lost the fight? Promises won't ever keep you warm at night There's too much at stake, I've got too much to hide It's easy, let me just believe tonight It's easy, let me just believe tonight It's easy, let me just believe tonight It's easy, let me just believe tonight
