lyrics

What will you do when my song is through
will you stand up and leave the room?
Or will you stay a while,
flash me a secret smile?
Oh lord I hope you do.

I didn't mean to embarrass you.
It's just that there's so much to say
sometimes the words come out the wrong way.
You'll understand some day.

Retrospect is a visual thing:
you can see all sorts in it.
Building a relationship's
like building your own ship
it takes a long time to begin it.

I didn't mean to embarrass you.
It's just that there's so much to say
sometimes the words come out the wrong way.
You'll understand some day.

And what about your friend with the Fender?
Do you really think he could be tender?
Just 'cause his Dad is the town's money lender
and he knows the words to The Great Pretender?
I wrote you a love song in C
and all you could do was laugh at me
tee hee, tee hee, tee hee.
