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 someday      I 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 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   Baby just say yeah
