Nylons Silhouettes Lyrics:
(Doo-doop, doo-doo-doop, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doop.)
[Bass singer repeats the above line 3 more times.]
[Tenor & baritone:]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, wo, wo, woh.)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, wo, wo, woh.)
[All:]
Took a walk and passed your house late last night.
All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight.
From within, the dim light cast two silhouettes on the shade.
Oh, what a lovely couple they made.
Put his arms around your waist, held you tight.
Kisses I could almost taste in the night.
I wondered why I'm not the guy Whose silhouette's on the shade.
I couldn't hide those tears in my eyes.
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
[Instrumental break with vocal stylings.]
Whoa-oah!
Dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip, wah-ahh.
Lost control and rang your bell. I was sore.
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/BwNK ]Let me in or else I'll beat down your door.
When two strangers who had been two silhouettes on the shade,
Said to my shock, "You're on the wrong block."
Dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip
Dip-dip-dip-dip-dip-dip, wah-ahh.
Whoa-oah!
Rushed down to your house with wings on my feet.
Loved you like I never loved you my sweet.
Vowed that you and I would be two silhouettes on the shade.
All of our days, two silhouettes on the shade.
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Woh-oh-oh-oh.
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Silhouettes (silhouettes).
Woh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
Two silhouettes on the shade.
(Shade.)
(Silhouettes.)
