 tell me, baby, tell me-ee  are you still  on the stoop
 watching the wind-ows  close?
 i've not seen you lately – yy  on the street  by the beach
 or places we used to-oo  go
 i've a picture  of you on our f-ay-vorite  day by the sea  side
 there's a bird  stealing bread that i brought  out from under my nose
 tell me, baby, tell me-ee  does his company  make
 light of a rainy-yy  day?
 how i've missed you lately-yy  and the way  we would speak
 and all that we wouldn't  say
 Do his hands  in your hair feel a lot  like a thing you believe  in
  or a bit  like a bird stealing bread  out from under your nose?
 tell me, baby, tell me-eeee  do you carry  the words
 around like a key or  change?
 i've been thinking lately-yyy  of a night  on the stoop and all that
 we wouldn't  say
 if i see  you again on the street  by the beach in the evening
 will you fly  like a bird stealing bread  out from under my nose?
