You didn't have to be so nice
|
I would have liked you anyway
|
If you had just looked once or twice
|
And gone upon your quiet way
|
|
Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
|
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
|
And it's true
|
|
You came upon a quiet day
|
You simply seemed to take your place
|
I knew that it would be that way
|
The minute that I saw your face
|
|
And when we've had a few more days (when we've had a few more days)
|
I wonder if I'll get to say (wonder if I'll get to say)
|
You didn't have to be so nice (be so nice)
|
I would have liked you anyway (would have liked)
|
|
Today I said the time was right for me to follow you (today said that the time was right to follow you)
|
I knew I'd find you in a day or two (I knew that I would find you in a day or two)
|
And it's true
|
|
You didn't have to be so nice (didn't have to be so nice)
|
I would have liked you anyway (would have liked you anyway)
|
If you had just looked once or twice (once or twice)
|
And gone upon your quiet way (quiet way)
