lookin my girl friend face to face

( confessional ! )

-----

I said

I DON'T KNOW THAT I SHOULD BE HERE

I CANT REALLY SAY ----- I LOVE YOU

:::

WHAT ?

She said laughing

YOU SAY THAT AS IF YOU THINK THAT

I LOVE YOU !

YOU REALLY DO , DON' T YOU

YOU' RE SUCH A PURIST !

AND I RESPECT THAT

BUT OF COURSE ITS NOT --- PERFECT

WE     ( WE )  ARE NOT PERFECT

SO WHAT ?

LOOK

GO IF YOU WANT

STAY IF YOU WANT

STAY IF YOU WANT AND GO AWAY LATER !

GO IF YOU WANT AND COME BACK LATER !

I CAN BOTHER CARING ABOUT YOU

I CAN BOTHER CARING ABOUT WHAT I KNOW

YOU ARE TRYING TO DO

BUT I CAN'T BOTHER CARING ABOUT

SOMETHING LIKE THIS

////

What could I say to that !

::

we looked closely at each other

We looked and ( sure ) the Trust was there

""""

WELL ( I said )

IF YOU PUT IT THAT WAY

I GUESS I' LL STAY !

(She kept looking at me -- they was no drum rolls
Or other mystic musical accompaniment )

OH  ( I said )

I GUESS I SHOULD HELP GET READY FOR DINNER

//

YES , ( she said )

THAT 'S THE WAY THINGS WORK ROUND HERE
