Distractions (Remastered 2017) Songtext
von Paul McCartney

What is this thing in life
That persuades me to spend time away from you?
If you can answer this, you can have the moon, ooh
This is the place to be
Anyway you can see there′s a lovely view
Why are there always so many other things to do?

Distractions
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head
When I′m alone, I think of you
And the life we'd lead if we could only be free
From these distractions, ooh


The postman's at the door
While the telephone rings on the kitchen wall
Pretend we′re not at home and they′ll disappear, ooh-ooh
I want to be with you
Tell me what I can do, nothing is too small
Away from all this jazz we could do anything at all

Distractions
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head
When I′m alone, I think of you
And the things we'd do if we could only be through
With these distractions

I′ll find a peaceful place
Far away from the noise of a busy day
Where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars


Distractions
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head
When I′m alone, I think of you
And the things we'd do if we could only be through
With these distractions
Like butterflies are buzzing 'round my head
When I′m alone, I think of you
And the life we′d lead if we could only be free
From these distractions
