Sesame Street Is No Place For Romance Lyrics

"You must know deep in your heart of hearts that people are supposed to make love. It is our main purpose in life! All those other activities... Playing the violin, washing dishes, reading novels, drinking wine, are just ways of passing time... Until you can make love again."

I know something you don't,
Won't ever know
I know something you don't,
Take my advice, take my advice, please, babe

[?]

You're busy stealing glances
And I know
That nothing in this world's for free

Take my advice, take my advice, please, babe

Don't you think that we haven't noticed your uncanny silence
(Uncanny, uncanny silence)
We've made note of those circles that are deepening under your eyes
(Under your eyes, under your eyes)
Darling, where have you been?
(Where have you been, where have you been?)

Pretending like an elephant doesn't make you wise,
And I think it's time
(Yeah, I think it's time)
That you say it for yourself

Pretending like an elephant doesn't make me wise
No matter how loud I scream it
It won't scare away the flies
And though I know how you listen
You never hear a thing
So just sit there in your painting
While these mockingbirds sing
