Byblos (Rehearsal)

[Intro]

One, two

One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]

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]

She talked of feelings that I knew were

She painted me a picture using every shade of blue

It was light with laughter

At times it made me cry

And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her

To squeeze her

I'll never gonna kiss her

Never tried to please her

[Verse 3]

Then, soon she had to go

I sat there all alone

And thought of things she said

The whole day through

Then I realized

I never took the time

To find out where she lived

Or where to call

[Verse 4]

I thought that I would see her the next night

Ooh, anticipating how I'd set myself right

Then, I went back to Byblos

I sat there and waited

Feeling just a little nervous, a little frustrated

Then, soon, she came

Looking just the same

Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her

Far from the game

[Verse 5]

Then a lady 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 that she thought

I was jiving her around

'Cause when I looked for her

This is what I found

[Bridge]

She was rapping

With a real good friend of mine

He was happening

I guess it was his time

Ooh, I couldn't blame him

Because he was sad and lonely too

But just talking to her did me so much good

I knew she could do him good too

[Verse 6]

Then I went home and I got it on

Sat down to write these words

When I was finally alone

Then about halfway through

I 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]

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
