I'd Rather Be With You Lyrics

*pouring two glasses of champagne*
*ring* *ring*
Woman's Voice: Oh, excuse me...
*ring*
Woman's voice: ...Hello?
Man on telephone: Why did it take you so long??
Woman's voice: I was doing uhh...
Man on telephone: Here look, look, listen...We've been missing eachother for some time now, and I don't know what to do about it
Woman's voice: Mm hmm, I know but...
Man on telephone: Look, The travel, the job, it's all keeping me away from you. I realize I haven't been all I could or should be, and I really wouldn't blame you if you're seeing someone else...

Woman's voice: You know, we get involved in so many things. We get caught up giving things, buying things, in place of love and affection.
Man on telephone: But I bought you those things because I can...
Woman's voice: You bought those things because you're not here...
Man in the background: Oh where do you keep the ice?
Woman's voice: I'd rather be with you...
I'd rather be with you, yeeahhhh
Yes, I'd rather be with you.
I'd rather be with you, yeeahhhh
Yes, I'd rather be with you.
I'd rather be with you until I'm through,
Oh yes I do...
I'd rather be with you until that day we'll fly away.
I just love your smiling face,
in the early sun.
If I can't have you to myself,
then life's not fun.
I'd rather be with you, yeeahhhh
Yes, I'd rather be with you.
I'd rather be with you, yeeahhhh
Yes, I'd rather be with you.
I'd rather be with you until I'm through,
Oh yes I do.
I wanna be your friend,
Not now and then, but 'til the end.
I'm living and a-loving, waiting for the moment, when we got time to give,
and if I can't get to love you, what's a telephone mean.
*I would rather be, rather be, rather be, rather be, rather be....*
*Oooohhhoooohhhoooohhhoooo yea yea yea yeaaaaahaaaaaaaa*
