with your long black hair and your dark brown eyes
i watched you walk in the room
the band was playing some rock'n'roll
or some forgettable tune
well my hands were cold but my heart was warm
i knew what i had to do
i made my mind up there and then
to try to get close to you
close to you and your smile
and the way that you looked for a while
the way that you cared
close to you and your touch
and the way that i want you so much
the way that i do
well maybe i'm crazy or maybe i'm just running scared
well you walked right in and you sat right down
and ordered something with ice
i wandered slowly across the room
you didn't look at me twice
but i held my breath when you spoke to me
and asked if i wanted to dance
it was a way to get close to you
so i thought that i might take a chance
close to you and your smile
and the way that you looked for a while
the way that you cared
close to you and your touch
and the way that i want you so much
the way that i do
well maybe i'm crazy or maybe i'm just running scared
well we danced some more and we talked a while
until the evening was late
then i took you home and you held my hand
we said good night at the at the gate
but you turned around to invite me in
i didn't know what to do
guess i was just too frightened
girl
to try to get close to you
close to you and your smile
and the way that you looked for a while
the way that you cared
close to you and your touch
and the way that i want you so much
the way that i do
well maybe i'm crazy or maybe i'm just running scared
