Can I stow away in the depths of your heart? Hidden in the shadows, I'll stay out of sight; then slip past the guards in the dead of the night. I'll be that stranger stood at the bar— pinstripe suit, buttonhole, tie. A knowing look, our secret code. The wink of an eye, our signal to go. Exit by a side door into the night, a shadowy figure beneath a single street light. A scribbled message, in a telephone box— L is for Love, P is for Pay. The babysitter, she's asking— she’s done for the day.

Dial L for love
Can I stow away in the depths of your heart? Hidden in the shadows, I'll stay out of sight; then slip past the guards in the dead of the night. I'll be that stranger stood at the bar— pinstripe suit, buttonhole, tie. A knowing look, our secret code. The wink of an eye, our signal to go. Exit by a side door into the night, a shadowy figure beneath a single street light. A scribbled message, in a telephone box— L is for Love, P is for Pay. The babysitter, she's asking— she’s done for the day.
