Hey, young girl, staring at me,
Smiling so mysteriously,
Your eyes so shiny and your lips so red,
Do you know this tune playin' in my head?
Hey Cordelia, don't you frown.
Well your Daddy went crazy and your house burned down.
I'm gonna make everything all right.
I'm singing just for you tonight.
I got a tune runnin' through my head and it won't go away.
'Cuz I need someone to turn me on,
Someone to wait beside the dawn,
Someone to sing my song,
And be my Nightingale
(Nightingale)
Someone to kiss beneath the moon
And sleep with in the afternoon.
Someone to sing my tune
And be my Nightingale
(Nightingale)
Be my Nightingale
(Nightingale)
Girl, do you hear the music playing?
Do you understand what the singer is saying?
'Cuz I need someone to turn me on,
Someone to wait beside the dawn,
Someone to sing my song,
And be my Nightingale
(Nightingale)
Someone to kiss beneath the moon
And sleep with in the afternoon.
Someone to sing my tune
And be my Nightingale
(Nightingale)
Be my Nightingale
(Nightingale)
So won't you listen to the band?
(Won't you listen to the band?)
And won't you try to understand?
(Won't you try to understand?)
Won't you let me be the fool?
And hold you by the hand?
Won't you sing it 'til I see that you are smiling?
(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!)
Be my Nightingale
(Nightingale)
