I saw her once before; she didn't turn me on.   One night she stopped to talk to pass the time.   And then I saw her eyes; her softly smiling glow,   We sat and talked all night at Byblos.   She talked of feelings that I knew were true.   She painted me a picture using ev'ry shade of blue   It was light with laughter, At times it made me cry,   And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her;   to squeeze her; to kiss her all night long, I never tried to please her.      Then, soon she had to go;   I sat there all alone   And thought of things she said   The whole day through.   And then I realized,   I never took the time   To find out where she lived   Or where to call.   I thought that I would see   Her the next night,   Anticipating how I'd set myself right.      Then, I went back to Byblos;   I sat there and waited,   Feeling just a little nervous   And a little frustrated.      Then, soon, in she came, looking just the same   Oo, I could hardly wait to take her far from the game.   Then a person came in to the club   that I had to speak to   I explained the situation to her   And i thought she understood   But I guess she thought I was jiving her around   Cause when I looked for her, this is what I found   She was rapping with a real good friend of mine,   He was happening, I guess it was his time.   I really couldn't blame him, cause he was sad and lonely too.   But just talking to her did me so much good, I knew she'd do him good too.   Then I went home and I got it on,   Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone.   And then, about halfway through I wondered if someone knew   where she was, so I could give her a call,   And I found out that she was right down the hall,   Not too far away,   but that's ok, I'll just wait for the day when I can see   her again and spend some time.
