Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

Well, I can meet you on the street
And I’ll stop and talk to you
You can walk around the block
And I will walk around it too

But you can sit down in the park
Do some lovin’ in the dark
But to me you don’t appeal
‘Cause there ain’t no money in this deal

Now you might say to me let’s eat
I might say my name is Pete
And you say that yours is Joyce
But I know it could be Lois

We can go ahead and fill
A life that isn’t real
Later I might say I’m Bill
‘Cause there ain’t no money in this deal
