LYRICS

The walls have ears

Ears that hear each little sound you make

Every time you stamp, throw a lamp

And every cup and dish you break

But they can't hear a kiss

Or two arms that hold you tight

So come on, baby

Don't fight tonight

The walls have ears

Better think before you fling that shoe

If you part my hair with a chair

They'll spread the news to Timbuktu

But they can't hear a kiss

Or two arms that hold you tight

So come on, baby

Don't fight tonight

Jets can fly fast and high

Rockets can go even faster

But they can't catch or even match

Sound traveling through plaster

The walls have ears

Ears that hear each little sound you make

And every time you stamp, throw a lamp

And every cup and dish you break

But they can't hear a kiss

Or two arms that hold you tight

So come on, baby

Don't fight tonight

Just dim the light

Don't fight tonight
