Byblos

[Verse 1: Terry Kath] 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 [Verse 2: Terry Kath, (Bandmates)] She talked of feelings That I knew were true, knew were true She painted me a picture Using every shade of blue (Every shade of blue) It was light with laughter (Ooh) At times it made me cry (Ooh) 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 [Verse 3: Terry Kath, with bandmates] 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 [Verse 4: Terry Kath, (Bandmates)] I thought that I would see her The next night (The next night) Ooh, anticipating how I'd set myself right (How to make that right) Then, I went back to Byblos (Ooh) I sat there and waited (Ooh) 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 [Verse 5: Terry Kath] 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 That I was jiving her around 'Cause when I looked for her This is what I found [Bridge: All] She was rapping With a real good friend of mine He was happening Oh, it was his time I really couldn't blame him He was sad and lonely too Just talking to her did me so much good I knew she'd do him good too [Verse 6: Terry Kath] Then I went home and I got it on Sat down to write these words When I was finally alone Then about halfway through 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 [Outro: Terry Kath, with bandmates] Not too far away But that's okay I'll just wait for the day When I can see her again And spend some time Ooh, time, some time, some time Go and get her, go and get her Go back and get her, go and get her Shall I get ya? Gonna get ya Can't forget ya, ooh, get ya Gonna get ya, ooh
