Don’t you want to belong to me
Together in penthouse style
A lifetime of harmony
We must reconcile
Your need to be alone
With my love of the social disease
Got the downtown in my bones
I could never leave

Is there something I could tell you
That would ever make you see
I want to make you happy
Don’t take my soul away from me

You got a life in the quiet age
With a cabin deep in the woods
Firelight warms the winter days
Never had it so good
I want to be with you
But living there I could never conceive
Got the downtown in my bones
And I’ll never leave

Is there something I could tell you
That would ever make you see
I want to make you happy
Don’t take my soul away from me

I spent some time being all alone
Not knowing what I need
Lookin’ down at the cobblestones
So unhappily
I want to be with you
You make my life feel so complete
Got the downtown in my bones
And I’ll never leave

Is there something I could tell you
That would ever make you see
I want to make you happy
Don’t take my soul away from me

Don't take my soul away from me
Don't take my soul away
