Things Lyrics

Every night I sit here by my window (window)
Starin' at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Watching lovers holdin' hand an' laughin' (Hahaha)
And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do

(Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park
(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
(Things) Like a sailboat ride
(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do

Memories are all I have to cling to (Cling to)
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to (But You've got me now)
When I'm not thinkin' of-a just how much I love you (I love you too)
Well, I'm-a thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do (Used to do)

(Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park
(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
(Things) Like a sailboat ride
(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do

I still can hear the jukebox softly playin' (playin')
And the face I see each day belongs to you (belongs to you)
Though there's not a single sound and there's nobody else around
Well, it's-a just me thinkin' of the things we used to do

(Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park
(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
(Things) Like a sailboat ride
(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do

And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
Ya got me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do

You were rubbish in that
Don't start that with me on this album
Why did you do it like that, that time
For start to finish there you said I'm wrong
You said I had to think about Kylie when I was doing this and I was
You obviously weren't thinking about Kylie,
You were thinking about June Whitfield
I can't hear you, I can't hear you
Well you were thinking about June Whitfield that's who you were thinking about.
I had to think about somebody and you told me Kylie
Well listen, you just came in wrong and then it got progressively worse from there.
You started it wrong
I can't hear you you're cutting out
It went bad, bad, bad right towards the end
Who said bad? When you sang?
No, when you sang!
No
Yes, you can hear me! Look, you started this on your last album,
I don't want anything to do it! I'm going, goodbye!
