    Since english is not my first language, it's very hard for me to understand certain parts of the song. This is what I've already got. I'll put the missing words in brackets. Here's the link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEJZTtiXktM

    Well I say ooh
    (....) your world
    if (....) you
    if you see that sun
    oh yeah don't want me (...)
    Well he comes around
    after the moon goes down
    just to have a little fun

    until the day is done

    Well so I say why
    and do you even try
    oh to find an aliby
    well you stick around
    (.......)
    and bring some friends
    and bring some folks
    come along and tell some jokes
    and if you're anything like me
    oh baby just you wait and see
    that seems like a (......)

    Well if all the (......) stop
    and the oceans (.....) drop
    Well then I never feel so on top
    if not for you

    Yeah but all our time went by
    and the oceans they (.....)
    and I always felt so hypnotised
    but not by you
    not by you

    I would really really appreciate it, if someone with great hearing and a better grasp of the english language, would identify those few missing parts to the song.

    Here's what I've got. He's a mumbler as far as the delivery goes, but, good god, is it good! This is coming not only from someone from the US, but also from the South (Alabama to be precise), and I'm still having trouble deciphering some of the lyrics. Whatever is in (parentheses) is what I'm not positive about. And here is my other reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp9DADjYKl8

    Well I said ooh
    All that (sin is your world)
    yeah, I fall in love with you
    oh, if you see that sun
    it is (an ominous dream)

    well he comes around, ooh
    after the moon goes down
    yeah, just to have a little fun
    till the day is done

    yeah, so I say why
    oh, do you even try
    to find an alibi
    if you come around
    I hope you stay the whole damn night

    and bring some friends
    and bring some folks
    yeah, come along
    and tell some jokes

    yeah, and if you’re anything like me
    oh baby, just you wait and see
    and i see the light girl that i need

    well, if all the light says stop
    and the oceans they did drop
    well, and i always feel so on top
    if not for you

    yeah, and now oh how time went by
    and the oceans they did rise
    oh and I always felt so hypnotized
    but not by you
    yeah, not by you
