I met her somewhere in the corner of my eye. I keep her somehow in the back of my mind. It wasn't long ago I tried to show her my affection. She turned, looked at me and ran in the other direction.
I'd like to wake up with you early in the morning. Or stay up late, just playin' records on your phonograph. I'd like to get to know your mother and your father.
Valerie's dancin' on the room above my bed, you know. For all of the world below to see. Valerie's leaving in a car outside my house, you know. Such a shame she's not with me and all the pretty things.
Well let me tell you all a little story. 'Bout the man who lives down at the top of the stairs. Well he worked all his life for his children and his wife.
Oh, yes, it's me writing this letter. And God how I hope that it makes me feel better. And yeah, it's me, the end of your line. Though I don't say a word, I call all the time.
I spend a lot of time thinkin' about you. Do you think about me?. I'm tryin' real hard, you know, to live without you. But girl can't you see. . I've been watchin, been waitin'.
Where is she goin' out tonight?. Is she wearin' your shirt, is she driving your car?. She was the one who was most likely to but she never got through.
Well, if the birds in your sky discontinue to fly. Tell me why, tell a lie, can I have your love?. And if the leaves in your trees if they sway with the breeze.
I met her at a bar where I often sit down. And have myself a drink. She played my favorite song. Before I had time to think. . So I bought her a round and she pounded it down.
Hello, well, it's me again. Like a leaf I fell from your tree again. But if I look real hard I can see again. That you'll never say you're sorry. . I talked to him on your birthday.
I was ridin' around with the radio up and the windows down. I took a minute or two to think about my problems. Drivin' in this van, playin' in this band.
Hello, starry eyes, it's just me. Shut all the blinds, so no one can see. I just wanted to talk to you, so nobody else could hear. Come on, baby, let me whisper in your ear.
Have you seen her? Yeah I've seen her before. How's she doin'? Same way as before. Like a flower she breaks. Through the showers into my heart. . How'd you meet her? A friend of a friend I guess.
You think you're foolin' me with your lies. I see it shows in your eyes. And I'd rather die than compromise. Don't go pushin' me, baby. . I've heard it all before.
