lyrics

Lately I've been late for everything seems like the best of things
they just pass me by.
It's like looking at a photo album that ain't even mine
What will I hold to show the passing of time?

Lighten up you say. Have a drink on me,
Come on, lighten up Diane.
And as the jukebox plays and the lovers sway
It's here I realize you don't give a damn.

Well there's something sad about that jukebox
playing how the lights only glow in time, only glow...
Like how we only meet when we are undercover
Never with a friend or family 'round.
They all say that I should put you down.

Lighten up you say. Have a drink on me,
Come on, lighten up Diane
Why don't you call it a night? Go home to your wife.
Or is she sick to death of you, like I am too?

Hear the jukebox playing, see the lovers swaying
Come on lighten up Diane.
I'm gonna call this night. Go home to your wife
Come on lighten up Diane.
