Monotov’s Private Opera

[Verse 1]
Every moment of your life is a chance to get it right
Every moment you've been livin' in, you could turn it all on like a light
And the weight of the years has got me burstin' into tears
Standin' here with nothin', I stand alone inside my fears

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And like an actor reveals a deeper state
When I tell you now for me it's not too late

[Chorus]
To tell you, baby, it's you and only you and no one else
And I'll mean it, even when I'm talkin' to myself
I said maybe, it's you and only you and no one else

[Verse 2]
And how I miss Moscow (Moscow), those people really know
How to have a good time in a mixed-up state of mind

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And Monotov's Private Opera is closed
So I guess I'll go home now 'cause there's no where else to go

[Chorus]
And tell you, baby, it's you and only you and no one else
And I mean it, and even when I'm talking to myself
I said baby, it's you and only you and no one else

[Bridge]
You and no one else, but I'm lost in a poem
And now I'm walkin' by myself in the dark alone
But these actors and dramatists won't send me home

[Verse 3]
Maybe I'm like my father, strung out on something or another
Held to a standard we were always sinkin' under
And maybe I'm like my mother, she shattered 'cause no one loved her
And maybe I, maybe I am like no other

[Pre-Chorus 3]
And some moments are more real than the books I've read (the books I've read)
And the good woman, well maybe she meant what she said
And I'll tell you now some things go straight to my head

[Chorus]
And I'll tell you, baby, it's you and only you and no one else
And I'll mean it, even when I'm talkin' to myself
I said baby, it's you and only you and no one else
Yes, I mean it, even when I'm talkin' to myself

[Post-Chorus]
I'm talkin' to myself
I'm talkin' to myself, mmm
I'm talkin' to myself
Um baby

[Outro]
Everything changed in a day
And I know another one on the way
And I'll tell you, baby
Everything changed in a day
And I know and I know
Another one another one on the way
And I will tell you
Everything changed in a day
Let me know and I know
Another one on the way on the way
I know
