Hideaway - Roger Chapman

Ah, sweet thing

Well I can whisper you sweet things

But can I tempt you to go, out into the night

Leave the flashing lights for a softer glow, for a softer glow

I got a yen for some sweet life, holding hands, dancing slow

I got a burning taste for your sweetest place

To the sound of soul to the sound of soul

Yeah this neon’s too bright, the music’s too tight

Let me take you somewhere a little more down-home

Where we can, hide-away — hide-away

I’ve got somewhere we can run to, warm and it’s safe

So let’s get out of this place now honey, come on now honey

Yeh

Now we can ride on a street-car, maybe take us a stroll

Slip away from this crowd to somewhere I’ve found

Where the music rolls — let the music roll

Yeh there’s no doubt about, this place is too crowded

Let me take you somewhere a little more down-home

Where we can, hide-away — hide-away

I got somewhere to run to, somewhere to play

So let’s get out of this place now honey, come on now honey

And we can, hide-away — hide-away

I got somewhere to run to, warm and its safe

So let’s get out of this place now honey, yeh well now

Honey, well the name of the place, now yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh

The name of the place is ‘I like it like that', yeh

Now I can sing you a sweet song, I can teach you to dance

I can lullaby you, tenderise you, given half the chance

Give me half a chance

Ok, but this neon’s too bright and this music’s too tight

Let me take you somewhere a little more down-home

Where we can, hide-away — hide-away

I’ve got somewhere to run to, warm and it’s safe

Let’s get out of this place now honey, come on babe

Yeh, yeh, yeh, now we can hide-away — hide-away

I got somewhere to run to, somewhere to play

Let’s get out of this place now
