You wander around   on your own little cloud
       
When you don't see the why or the wherefore
 
Ooh, you walk out on me when we both disagree
          
'Cause to reason is   not what you care for

I've heard it all a million times     before

Take off your coat, my love, and close the door

Chorus:

Don't sleep in the subway, darling

Don't stand in the pouring rain

Don't sleep in the subway, darling
   
The night is long
 
Forget your foolish pride
 
Nothing's wrong
   
Now you're beside me again

You try to be smart, then you   take it to heart
'Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
You don't realize that it's all compromise
And the problems are so overrated

Goodbye means nothing if it's just for show
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go

[repeat chorus to fade]
