Byblos (Rehearsal)

歌詞

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 every 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 I could hardly wait to take her, far from that 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 that 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 happy, oh, it was his time I really couldn't blame him He was sad and lonely too But just talking to her did me so much good I knew she'd do him no good too Then I went home and I got it on Sat down to write these words when I was finally alone 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, time Some time, some time I'm gonna get her, I'm gonna get her Come back and get her, I'm gonna get her I'm trying to get her, I'm trying to get her Come back and get her, ooh, get her Gonna get her
