Lyrics Joan Armatrading – Someone’s In The Background

Someone’s in the background
While we’re on the phone
Giving you the answers
Where do they get

Put’em on the phone right now
I want to pick their brains tonight
They can tell me where I’m going wrong
They can tell me how to make love

Put’em on the phone right now
I want to talk to the stealer
They can tell me how they hurt inside
Because they know how much I’m hurting
They can say that when a good love dies
I’ll find some comfort in my memories

Someone made you question
The love we had
The love we had
Should have lasted a thousand years
You’ve been persuaded that was way too long
Put’em on the phone right now
I want to talk to the person
Who taught you how to spread your wings

Communication breakdown
I thought you cared
I thought you cared
When did we get to this position
And how
Tell me on the phone right now

I’m coming round there now
I want to see this angel
Once you’re caught
Then there’s no turning back
Like a rat you won’t escape the trap

Tell me on the phone right now
You’re going to sleep on your own tonight
I can find you out in a lie
You can’t disguise the passion
And you can say that now our love has died
I’ll find some comfort in my memories
