I wanted to be somebody you see

When you're feeling good


I started looking for your little MG


In my neighborhood

I started feeling kind of funny and free


When you were around


And I began to cook up a plan to

Take you out of town





Not really dating, we were relating

And we were friends


It's hard to say where the relating leaves off


And where loves begins

A friend will tell you all kinds of stuff


That a lover won't


And you would think you would see love coming

But of course, you don't





I want to hold you, don't want to mold you

Into someone else


I never could have invented you


Or written you so well

I never met another woman who


Possessed your particular charms


I want to be that man who will see that

You never come to harm





Must have been you I dreamed of

Yeah that was you all right


You were the laughter I was listening to


Standing in the light

You were the lover in the sunrise who


Had begun to slip away


Though I was just a kid I must have known

You'd be real someday





I want to know you, I want to show you

That you're not alone




You've been the only thing steadyin' me


And I guess we've both known

Maybe you haven't been that ready to see

That I could take you there


Well that was then, but this is when

I need to hear you say yeah


Baby just say yeah
