Lamp At Midnite - Corey Hart

You take my heart like a bow and arrow

And shoot it at me I know

I walk the tight rope when it’s narrow

To earn my degree I know

Now I’m the last boy at the playground

Who’s laughin’at me — I know, I know, I know

And through the corridor I follow you

And the chaos trips my mind

Now I write you short stories

Just to say we’re gonna love each other all the way

Well I know you’re not the talkin’kind

And if you really want to know me

(Oh, you know)

Burn a lamp at midnite

Said I really want to know you

(Oh, you know)

Burn a lamp at midnite

In a red school house where I see you

In the morning light — I know

Send me sailin’to pick you flowers

From the isle of white — You know, you know, you know

Take my eyes to the pages

Where I draw pictures of your name

Now I speak in dialects

Just to say

(We're gonna love each other all the way)

You’re not the kind of girl that plays the game

And if you really want to know me

(Oh, you know)

Burn a lamp at midnite

Said I really want to know you

(Oh, you know)

Burn a lamp at midnite

And to really understand me

(Oh, you know)

Burn a lamp at midnite, nite, nite, nite

And through the corridor I follow you

And the chaos trips my mind

Now I write you short stories

Just to say

(We're gonna love each other all the way)

But I know you’re not the talkin’kind, kind

And if you really want to know me

(Oh, you know)

Burn a lamp at midnite

Said I really want to know you

(Oh, you know)

Burn a lamp at midnite

And to really understand me, oh you know

Burn a lamp at midnite

I said I really want to know you, oh you know

Burn a lamp at midnite yeah

(Da, Della) continued until the end of the song.
