Didn't See It Coming Lyrics

A sky blue limo rolls past me on the street outside
And I saw your face like some sort of neon dream
And of all the cars and the bars and the stars on Sunset Boulevard
I saw you and you couldn't tell me what that means
Or what I'd seen

Oh but when it hit me
It was not the same thing
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
Finally I was seeing
Everything so clearly
Took what I'd been thinking
And washed it away

I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming,
Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming
I didn't see it coming

Well the streetlights flickered
And the hot air sighed
The conversation it stopped on a dime
A cruise missile flying into this little
Land of these naive dreams of mine
And I was told don't speak with your mouth open
But I couldn't help it cause you had chosen
As I watched that sky blue limo drive away

Oh but when it hit me
It was not the same thing
I had missed it all like tears in the rain
Finally I was seeing
Everything so clearly
Took what I'd been thinking
And washed it away

I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming
I didn't see it coming

A little skin
A little money
A little taste
A little honey
A little white lie
But if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge?

A little skin
A little money
A little taste
A little honey
A little white lie
But if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge?

A little skin
A little money
A little taste
A little honey
A little white lie
But if you love it
Tell me who am I to judge?
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
Coming, coming, coming, coming, coming, coming
I didn't see it coming
I didn't see it coming
