Lyrics Someone New - Paul Kelly

Someone New

I just want to sleep with someone new
Someone I’ve never met
Knowing it’s a foolish thing to do
And sure to cause regret
There is no reason to do our love wrong
When we’re together it’s sweet and strong
It’s where I belong
But I just want to sleep with someone new
Who doesn’t know my name
Who comes and takes my hand out of the blue
Just like in a dream
Pass any doorway, ride any train
Walk into any room — beauty stakes its claim
And drives it home again and again and again
I just want to sleep with someone else
Touch some different skin
To do or not to do is both ways false
But one’s a greater sin
I’m not about to tear this house down
And I couldn’t stand to sneak around
And lose this love I’ve found
So daily I will make her someone new
