lyrics

There was a knock at the door - after a call on the phone
He coming out of the blue - she being home all alone
He’d been a long time at sea - it couldn’t help but show
She said, “Well, come on in” she said, “Welcome home”

He said, “How do you do?” & she said, “Long time no see”
He said, “I’ve been thinking about you” & she said, “Oh, you remember me?”
He said, “If only you knew...I could never forget”
She said, “Oh, but I knew...from the first time we met”

It was a late, late night - there came the first crack of dawn
And a big burst of light - through those curtains she’d drawn
He said, “Hey, I’ve gotta run” & she said, “I understand...
Well, it’s sure been fun” - and they both shook hands

He ain’t no Romeo - and she’s no Juliet
This ain’t no picture show - this ain’t no movie set
She doesn’t know her lines - he cannot play his part
She cannot read his mind - he cannot find her heart

He says, “I’ll find my way” & she says, “I’ll find my way too”
But what he really means to say is ”I wish I could stay with you”
She doesn’t know what to think - he doesn’t know what to do
They say all the wrong things - they keep missing each other’s cues
