Her eyes they shimmer clear blue
But are they as blue as mine
The smile can light a room
Like clouds give in to sunshine
She's got both her arms around you now
And he's wrapped around me
But that glance we just shared, you and I,
Pure electricity
And I wonder what it's like
Lying just one night
Tracing down your body
Until the dawn's first light
If I placed all my wishes
In those strong, sleek hands
Will we be gazing at each other
Like only lovers can
Like only lovers can
Only lovers, only lovers can
It just don't seem practical
We're comfortable, secure
Why give that up for “What if”
When we've both got something good for sure
In safe and silent voices
We both say we're happy
But that little laugh just betrayed you
And I know that mine betrayed me
And I wonder what it's like
Lying just one night
Tracing down your body
Until the dawn's first light
If I placed all my wishes
In those strong, sleek hands
Will we be gazing at each other
Like only lovers can
Like only lovers can
Only lovers, only lovers can
It surely ain't the last time
That my thoughts were shout too loud
We share the same bar stools
Yea, we run with the same crowd
And are you watching as I leave
Like a bottle floating out to the sea
Then do you turn and find her
Riding a wave of thoughts about me
And I wonder what it's like
Lying just one night
Tracing down your body
Until the dawn's first light
If I placed all my wishes
In those strong, sleek hands
Will we be gazing at each other
Like only lovers can
Like only lovers can
Only lovers, only lovers can
