[Verse 1: Allen Tate]
Who are you, Love, and where have you been?
Do you know my face?
I'm sorry Love but I can't let you in
Love don't own this place
[Chorus]
And I can't fall asleep in your arms
No I can't fall asleep in your arms
So tell me a story and I'll put myself to sleep
[Verse 2]
Spider got me when I was your age
A Casanova
Funny, people start sounding the same
When you're older
[Chorus: Tate and Helen McCreary]
No I can't fall asleep in your arms
No I can't fall asleep in your arms
So tell me a story and I'll put myself to sleep
[Verse 3]
Take a seat, Love and bring me to Paris
Read me The Purple Land
I'll be Abel and chase you to Lima
Holding my hat in hand
Call you Paquita and sing you to sleep, Love
In the Purple Land
I'll be Abel if you are Rima
Or I'll be your lamb
[Breakdown] x8
And I'll prepare a place for you
[Outro] x3
I'll prepare, I'll prepare, I'll prepare a place
