from "Stagepass", 1977, Epic Records





No, you don't know me well

and I wonder if you can tell

just how good you look to me

I don't know the words to say

and they come out so awkwardly

but I have to speak my mind...





(CHORUS:)

Wouldn't you like to stay tonight

Waste a little time on me...

We can pretend that we're old friends

wouldn't be so hard to believe

And wouldn't you like

to waste a little time on me?





I can't ask to be the first

and I won't ask to be the last

We're both old enough to know

we can leave it all at this

but there's so much that we might miss

We'll never miss being alone





(CHORUS)





Maybe you'll choose to pass

but it can't hurt to ask

and maybe...you'll say yes...





(CHORUS)
