I need more time to be understood I'll take your time and I'll make it good I'll follow your smile to a different place And trace your lips in a warm embrace I need more time to be on my own The in-crowd's crowd is a crowd gone home The streets can tell all you need to know Of who's been friend and of who's been foe People we meet Just walk on by (just walk on by) They paint what they want And then watch it dry (ooh ahh) So colour my eyes From violet to blue My body can't lie When it's close to you Like people we meet I need more time and my alibi Is when I dream it's with you I fly high Over the top of the universe Then back to earth where it's all rehearsed People we meet Just walk on by (just walk on by) They paint what they want And then watch it dry (ooh ahh) So colour my eyes From violet to blue (violet to blue) My body can't lie When it's close to you People we meet Just walk on by They paint what they want And then watch it dry So colour my eyes From violet to blue My body can't lie When it's close to you Like people we meet (like people) Like people we meet (like people) (Like people) Like people we meet
