10cc — Shock on the Tube Dont Want Love

[Intro] I was traveling home on the subway When this vision got on at Maida Vale And as I casually eyed the classifieds She sat down next to me Every head in the carriage was wondering I replied with a smile on my face And as I slipped into the arms of Morpheus To daydream the rest of the way [Verse 1] She was a smooth operator You could see it in her dress I said I'd like to see you later But I didn't want to press I was homing like a scanner Did a mental striptease But she knew that she was special And she came on like a tease [Chorus] Don't want love (Just looking for happiness) Don't want love (Not looking for tenderness) Don't want love (Just looking for happiness) Don't want love [Verse 2] She was a headstrong woman With a demon in her blood Through the window in her eyes I saw fire in her soul And I knew if I pursued it My fingers would be burned Like a moth 'round a candle I was momentarily stunned [Chorus] Don't want love (Just looking for happiness) Don't want love (Not looking for tenderness) Don't want love (Just looking for happiness) Don't want love [Verse 3] The carriage was spinning We were up on the floor She was whirling like a dervish I was whirling like a fool My reactions were dimming Like an alcoholic haze I could hear people clapping I was stumbling in a daze I was stumbling in a daze [Instrumental break/guitar solo] [Verse 4] My eyes tried to focus I was suddenly aware She was newborn naked I was altogether bare There were shouts all around us There were clothes on the floor As I tried to find my senses I was sliding down the door [Verse 5] Down a coal-black tunnel I was slipping away Then I felt the water hit me And I heard somebody say Better get yourself together This is the end of the line When I looked for my woman I'd been dreaming all the time [Chorus] Don't want love (Just looking for happiness) Don't want love (Not looking for tenderness) Don't want love (Just looking for happiness) Don't want love
