Opposite View

We could be away from here By ten o'clock tonight Pennies won't get us to heaven, I know But a borrowed car just might Look through my wallet There's enough for a hotel room But no, no, no, you say "I want to stay in and get wet with you." Why do you take the opposite view? We could be different people tonight Who do you want to choose? I'll book a table in a suit and tie And you can wear your sister's shoes Look through my wallet Which cities shall we travel through? But no, no, no, you say "You just got paid, Money's not for wasting it's for holding on to." Why do you take the opposite view? Is it something in your nature That makes it hard to say, "Baby, I do." You don't have to agree When someone says they love you But you don't have to take The opposite view We can walk on the roofs tonight And watch the midnight traffic flow Unscrew the light bulbs babe, And we'll throw them from the 14th floor I say we're yellow If we don't do something new But you just laugh and start filling up my glass As if it's not true. Why do you take the opposite view? Every precious second is a chance to change The present tense is perfect baby, Let's rearrange it. --- Opposite View - Del Amitri
