Late at night, and in good company
We talked of idleness and injury
Problems and feelings shared, now more than halved
And the stereo two rooms away
Repeated songs we'd hear again
And every song became a song about love
You were hesitant, and I was naive
But I was adamant, and you had to concede
We were close
But not as close as we might have come to be
One thing led to another, as the song always goes
And we lay there in bed down to the last of our clothes
And by the way, I tried to say I love you
I held you close and gave you sympathy
Such little thanks for all you did for me
But mine's a caring heart, and yours was broken
And the stereo two rooms away
Repeated songs we'd hear again
And every song became a song about love
You were hesitant, and I was naive
But I was adamant, and you had to concede
We were close
But not as close as we might have come to be
One thing led to another, as the song always goes
And we lay there in bed down to the last of our clothes
And by the way, I tried to say I love you
But the words got jumbled up and I just kissed you again
And it was over before it started
And we parted
