I wanted to be somebody you'd see
When you're feeling good
I started looking for your little MG
In my neighborhoodI started feeling kind of funny and free
When you were around
And I began to cook up a plan to
Take you out of townNot really dating, we were relating
We were friends
It's hard to say where the relating leaves off
And where loves beginsA 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'tI want to hold you, don't want to mold you
Into someone else
I never could have invented you
Or written you so wellI never met another woman who
Possessed your particular charms
I want to be that man who will see that
You never come to harmMust have been you I dreamed of
Yeah, that was you all right
You were the laughter, I was listening to
Standing in the lightYou 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 somedayI want to know you, I want to show you
That you're not alone
You've been the only thing steadyin' me
And I guess we've both knownMaybe you never were 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
Baby, just say, yeah
Baby, just say, yeahYeah, yeah, baby
Just say, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Baby, just say, yeah
