lyrics

There he stands looking in
Is he lonely again?
The coffee sure is good today
I wonder if she will look my way...

These two had never met
Only exchanged glances
They'd like to go out a little while
to find the answers...

All the dogs howl
All the cats are in heat again
There's no one on the street at this hour
When old Tom steps up to the window pane, and says
"Gosh, darn it!"

Peeping Tom
you're not wrong
I would have done the same in your position
But you were in no condition

The hours tick by
and the months go
suddenly it's fall outside
then it snows

Peeping Tom
you're not wrong
I would have done the same in your position
But you were in no condition

"Gosh, darn it"
I just need to say something!
...to begin

Then one day
Tom rode his bicycle down the street
like he always did
and the first snowflake
fell on his lip

Just then a group of kids
came around to harass him

They said, "Hey Tom!"
"We sure like your bike
He said, "Well thank you."
My mom gave it to me."
"Yeah, well we're going to take it!"
He said, "you can't do that!"

So they knocked him down
He fled...
Ran two blocks and slipped,
fell to the ground and bumped his head.

She had been watching and
luckily was taking karate classes at night
So she chased them off!

Kicked their ass and saved Tom, again...
She said," Hey Tom. Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I guess."
I just got this bump up on my head.

He was soaking wet when she dried him
He was soaking wet when she dried him
He was soaking wet when she dried him
That's how they fell...in love

She quit her job at the coffee shop that day
And they say both went away
off to Spain

C'est la vie dans la ville, n'est pas?

Peeping Tom
You're not wrong
I'd have done the same in your position
but you were in no condition
