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 simply seemed to take your place
I knew tyhat 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 the time was right for me 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
