Billy Joel – Sleeping With The Television On -- Billy Joel lyrics

Oh I didn't want to do it but I got too lonely
I had to call you up in the middle of the night
I know it's awful hard to try and make love long distance
(pant pant pant)
But I really wanted needed stimulation
Though it was only my imagination
CHORUS:
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
It's just a fantasy
It's not the real thing
Sometimes a fantasy
Is all you need
When am I gonna take control get ahold of my emotions
Why does it only seem to hit me in the middle of the night
You told me there's a number I can always dial for assistance
(pant pant pant)
I don't want to deal with outside action
Only you can give me satisfaction
:||CHORUS
Guitar solo
Sure it would be better if I had you here to hold me
Be better baby but believe me it's the next best thing
I'm sre there's many times you've wanted me to hear your secrets
Don't be afraid to say the words that'll move me
Any time you want to tell them to me
:|| CHORUS and fade out
