I go to parties, I go to dances
But my heart isn’t in it
I’m always looking for new romances
But my heart isn’t in it
In someone else’s arms, I make believe
I don’t care where you are
But when I share a kiss I close my eyes
And suddenly there you are
There’s always something that I can do nights
But my heart isn’t in it
And when I stay home 
Those are the blue nights for me
But if you telephoned and said ”Darling,
Let’s make a new start”
I’d answer “Yes” in a minute
My heart would be in it
For you are still in my heart.
