  • Baby, look across the street
    I know that you're alone
    I've been waiting out in the dark
    That surrounds your home
    'Cause after midnight I'll be calling
    C'mon, answer the phone

    And baby, you know there's no getaway
    I belong with you
    I'll be calling every night and day
    'Till you want me too

    Baby, I've seen every movie
    That you've ever made
    Now I'm waiting
    I know all the parts
    That you've ever played

    And baby, you know there's no getaway
    I belong with you
    I'll be calling every night and day
    'Till you want me too

    Oh baby, do you read my letters
    I'm so excited about you
    But I'm still waiting, I've had no reply
    What about our rendezvous?
    'Cause after midnight
    Ooh, while you're sleeping
    You know I'm looking for you

    And baby, you know there's no getaway
    I belong with you
    I'll be calling every night and day
    'Till you want me too

  • Bleepyf from Edinburgh, ScotlandI remember an article just after the album came out which suggested (I forget which band member said this, but very likely either Mogg himself or Neil Carter) that the song was inspired by the story of Jodie Foster's stalker.
    John Hinckley Jr. had severe depression and obsessive tendencies, who started stalking actress Jodie Foster and later attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan outside a hotel in Washington D.C. He was subsequently found not guilty by reason of insanity, and put in a mental institution.
