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 some  - day
 
 
 
 
I  want to know you, I want to show you
That  you're not a  - lone
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
 |  |  |  |  | play 4x
  Baby just say yeah
