I really hate to interrupt you like this
but could you take your eyes off that blank screen for
just one second?
I'd like to ask a favor of you.
Look into my eyes
and tell me what you see
If you see a heart that's a little off center
and an Italian picnic on a too American
countryside
then I'd like to have a little more of your time

-but-

If all you see is the tear streaked face
of a child trying too hard to be a man
then just keep watching your after-shave commercial
