Tommy James

verse 1:
Children behave
That's what they say when we're together
And watch how you play
They don't understand and so we're
C#m A *
Runnin' just as fast as we can
C#m A *
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground
And then you say:
chorus:
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around
I think we're alone now
The beating of our hearts is the only sound
(heartbeat and crickets)
verse 2:
Look at the way
We gotta hide what we're doin'
'Cause what would they say
If they ever knew and so we're
Runnin' just as fast as we can
Holdin' on to one another's hand
Tryin' to get away into the night
And then you put your arms around me as we tumble to the ground
And then you say:
(repeat chorus)
(more heartbeat and crickets)
outro:
I think we're alone now
There doesn't seem to be anyone around (repeat to fade)
