Demo 1

If you get lonely, darling, just hold me
Prison isn't going to keep me from you
Do like you told me, pick up and phone me
Use your one phone call on your ex-love, boo

Nobody will have to know that our love's alive
Keep it on the low if you want to hide
I've got the same address that you left behind
On Greenwich Avenue, wishin' and dreamin' of you

Living without you's like TV in black and white
Dark when I found you, touched me and turned on the light
When I'm around you, suddenly I realize
That I was blind before I saw the world through your eyes

If you get lonely, think of this only
Heaven hasn't forgotten about you, ooh
Remember Coney Island and how we
Wade into the waves until the water's blue

I won't tell a single soul that you cry at night
Sit in single cells, holdin' that pillow tight
Baby, think of home, it will be all right
If you feel sad, remember what we had

Living without you's like TV in black and white
Dark when I found you, touched me to turn on the light
When I'm around you, suddenly I realize
That I was blind before I saw the world through your eyes

Bein' without you's like winter with no reprieve
Summer, I found you, flowers bloom and I believe
That I have found true love, I hope you never leave
Never leave

So dry your eyes, dry your eyes
No bad surprises left in store for you
When you get home, you can change the tides
And start anew, start anew
(New, new, new, new)

Living without you's like TV in black and white
Dark when I found you, touched me to turn on the light
When I'm around you, suddenly I realize
That I was blind before I saw the world through your eyes

Demo 2

If you get lonely think of me only,
Prison isn't going to keep me from you.
Remember Coney Island and how we,
Wade into the water till the waves turned blue.

Nobody does have to know that our love's alive,
Keep it on the low, if you want to hide.
Got that same address if you want to write,
One Greenwich Avenue, wishin' and thinkin' of you.

Living without you's like TV in black and white,
You turned me on and brought color into my life.
When I'm around you, suddenly, I realize,
That I was blind before I saw the world through your eyes.

Ah-ah-ah, woah-woah-woah, ooh-ooh.

If you get lonely think of this only,
Heaven hasn't forgotten about you, ooh.
Though you can't hold me, pick up and phone me,
Use your one phone call on your ex-girl, boo.

I won't tell a single soul how you spend your nights,
In that single cell, holding your pillow tight.
If you really are afraid, then you ought to know,
That you're the one I want, the one I want forevermore.

Living without you's like TV in black and white,
You turned me on and brought color into my life.
When I'm around you, suddenly, I realize,
That I was blind before I saw the world through your eyes.

I know you get scared sometimes, boy,
Nothing to be feared when you're in my heart.
Troubles come in threes but in your case,
They came in millions and trillions, but that's alright.

Living without you's like TV in black and white,
You turned me on and brought color into my life.
When I'm around you, suddenly, I realize,
That I was blind before I saw the world through your eyes.

(Ah-ah-ah),
Like TV in black and white.
(Woah-woah-woah, ooh-ooh).
Like TV in black and white.

(Ah-ah-ah),
Like TV in black and white.
(Woah-woah-woah, ooh-ooh).
Like TV in black and white.
