Love's Got A Lot To Answer For

music by Elton John . lyrics by Taupin
album The Big Picture 1997

pull my coat around me
feel the cold wind haunt me
streets are empty just like me
the murmour of an echo
seems to come from every window
is loneliness the same as being free

and I guess I must have been dreaming
to think that I believed in you at all
and now I just can't fight it
as the shadow of the night begins to fall

love's got a lot to answer for
oh I just can't sleep
with this feeling anymore
let the cold night air
cool the heat
of two hearts gone to war
for no matter who wins
in the end
love's got a lot to answer for

all I need is darkness
the best of all protection
freedom's like the stars in the sky
alone and cold and burning
each one keeps his distance
if only we were stars
you and I

and I guess I must have been dreaming
to think that I believed in you at all
and now I just can't fight it
as the shadow of the night begins to fall

love's got a lot to answer for
oh I just can't sleep
with this feeling anymore
let the cold night air
cool the heat
of two hearts gone to war
for no matter who wins
in the end
love's got a lot to answer for
