[Verso]
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
Ooh, 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
Because 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
Because 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
