'Cept You & Me, Babe

Greg Brown


half the people you see these days are talking on cell phones
driving off the road & bumping into doors
people used to spend quite a bit of time alone
i guess nobody's lonely anymore
'cept you & me babe  'cept you & me

it's raining sheets of rain  everything is cold and wet
nobody's going out of doors
they're all at home living it up on the internet
so i guess nobody's lonely any more
'cept you and me babe  'cept you and me

people meet somebody new & they leave the rest behind
we can have it all even though our lives are short
the kids  they'll get used to it  it happens all the time
no one is even surprised any more
'cept you and me babe  'cept you and me

i take my coffee black  or with a little cream
i wake up every morning with the sun
i wanted to be your man  that was nothing but a sweet dream
i always tell the truth to everyone
'cept you and me babe  'cept you and me
