Text: Tanita Tikaram. Sighing Innocents.
Give me a stand
A standing ovation, baby
Give me a road
Which I can tail
I don't know nothing
About your sad face, baby
So don't pretend
Or you might pay
Cost
It's costing us nothing, baby
I might feel some shame
But baby, I don't care
And if you won't mind
Just moving the fireside, baby
I'd rather be cold
Than lying over there
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing
I'm just trying to follow you
And if you walk
I might just tag along
It only be soft talk, some
Well that's something to do
Or I might take a walk
Down by the river, baby
But no, I won't
No, I won't be waiting for you
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing
I'm just trying to follow you
Sorry but sense
That no one will miss you
No one will miss you
If you die
They might send a wreath
They might send a reason
They might send a reason
But us, we know
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing
I'm just trying to follow you
Join in us, Sus
It's always the same man
He's taking a stroll
And then they tie him to his ghost
I know it's sad
But you never listen
No, you never listen
You just drive home
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing
I'm just trying to follow you
A standing ovation, baby
Give me a road
Which I can tail
I don't know nothing
About your sad face, baby
So don't pretend
Or you might pay
Cost
It's costing us nothing, baby
I might feel some shame
But baby, I don't care
And if you won't mind
Just moving the fireside, baby
I'd rather be cold
Than lying over there
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing
I'm just trying to follow you
And if you walk
I might just tag along
It only be soft talk, some
Well that's something to do
Or I might take a walk
Down by the river, baby
But no, I won't
No, I won't be waiting for you
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing
I'm just trying to follow you
Sorry but sense
That no one will miss you
No one will miss you
If you die
They might send a wreath
They might send a reason
They might send a reason
But us, we know
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing

No, this ain't sighing innocents
No, this ain't sighing
I'm just trying to follow you
