What was that about
The ballroom dancing class I asked about
It's all I've thought about

'Cause you were saying

We might get a chance to talk

And talk might lead to dance
And maybe dance might lead
To dates and dates to aging


Hope you let your intuition
Precede my reputation

'Cause I have one

I am what you see

I am not what they say
But if I turned out to be
Could you love me anyway


Standing anonymous
Hoping your heart will just

Wake up and ask for me by name
Maybe someday you'll ask for me
By name, just not today


Well, if this is love then it's hard to say
With your notes and your books

And your reaching away
And I've confidence issues with your intentions


And I'm not hip to all your tricks
With your algebra and your politics
And the band has planned a hotel intervention


So don't you leave me by my lonesome
To exceed my reputation

'Cause I have one

I am what you see

I am not what they say
But if I turned out to be
Could you love me anyway


Standing anonymous
Hoping your heart will just

Wake up and ask for me by name
Maybe someday you'll ask for me
By name, just not today


I'm always here
I've walked you home

Then headed for my own
Until again I'm needed


I am what you see
I am not what they say
But if I turned out to be

Could you love me anyway

I am what you see

I am not what they say
But if I turned out to be
Could you love me anyway


Standing anonymous
Hoping your heart will just

Wake up and ask for me by name
Maybe someday you'll ask for me
By name, just not today

Not today
