Joe Jackson Not Here, Not Now song lyrics

These words of love so hard for me to find

How can I change my mind if you can only lie?

These shattered dreams I try to build again

But looks could kill again and I'm too young to die

Smiling faces all around us

You don't wanna make a scene

Not here, not now

And I don't wanna cry

We drink the wine like we were really friends

But can our sadness end and work turn into play?

We dress so fine and step out on the town

And friends may gather round but soon will turn away

Smiling faces all around us

You don't wanna make a scene

Not here, not now

And I don't wanna cry

Smiling faces all around us

You don't wanna make a scene

Not here, not now

And I don't wanna cry
