Baby, when I ask you if everything is alright
You whisper "Don't worry" and you shut out the light
Well now black is black in this bed we're laying
Yeah and I wanna believe the words yeah that your lips are saying
But your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah they keep on dragging me down
Your eyes look like a leavin' train
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin' me down
Well I did anything just to try to get close to you
Yeah I took it step by step yeah like a man's supposed to
Tell me now, is this my, baby, is this my contrition
To have the love that I longed for fill me with suspicion
'Cause your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah they keep on dragging me down
Your eyes look like a leavin' train
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin' me down
So now it's tellin' time, oh my little sister
Now can I believe the words, the words of love you whisper
Is my train in vain, oh has my soul gone to waste
Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith
But your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah they keep on dragging me down
'Cause your eyes look like a leavin' train
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin' me down
You whisper "Don't worry" and you shut out the light
Well now black is black in this bed we're laying
Yeah and I wanna believe the words yeah that your lips are saying
But your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah they keep on dragging me down
Your eyes look like a leavin' train
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin' me down
Well I did anything just to try to get close to you
Yeah I took it step by step yeah like a man's supposed to
Tell me now, is this my, baby, is this my contrition
To have the love that I longed for fill me with suspicion
'Cause your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah they keep on dragging me down
Your eyes look like a leavin' train
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin' me down
So now it's tellin' time, oh my little sister
Now can I believe the words, the words of love you whisper
Is my train in vain, oh has my soul gone to waste
Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith
But your eyes look like a leavin' train
Yeah they keep on dragging me down
'Cause your eyes look like a leavin' train
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin'
They keep on draggin' me down
