I saw her once before; she didn't turn me on

One night she stopped to talk to pass the time

And then I saw her eyes;

Her softly smiling glow

We sat and talked all night at Byblos

She talked of feelings that I knew were true

She painted me a picture using ev'ry shade of blue

It was light with laughter

At times it made me cry

And now I'll never know just
Why I didn't ever try to hold her;

To squeeze her; to kiss her all night long
I never tried to please her

Then  soon she had to go;

I sat there all alone

And thought of things she said

The whole day through

And then I realized

I never took the time

To find out where she lived
Or where to call

I thought that I would see
Her the next night

Anticipating how I'd set myself right

Then  I went back to Byblos;

I sat there and waited

Feeling just a little nervous
And a little frustrated

Then  soon  in she came

Looking just the same

Oo  I could hardly wait
To take her far from the game

Then a person came in to the club

That I had to speak to

I explained the situation to her

And i thought she understood

But I guess she thought I was jiving her around

Cause when I looked for her  this is what I found

She was rapping with a real good friend of mine

He was happening  I guess it was his time

I really couldn't blame him
Cause he was sad and lonely too

But just talking to her did me so much good

I knew she'd do him good too

Then I went home and I got it on

Sat down to write these words

When I was finally alone

And then  about halfway through

I wondered if someone knew

Where she was  so I could give her a call
And I found out that
She was right down the hall

Not too far away

But that's ok  I'll just wait
For the day when I can see
Her again and spend some time
Time  some time some time again
