I wish I could tell you something you didn't know
I wish I could give you something you didn't owe
I wish I could tell you a joke to make you smile
And I could be with you awhile

Just wanna be that someone you weren't looking for
Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door
And when you're sad and blue, my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile

I just want to take you somewhere you haven't been
Find an old time movie where we don't know the end
Lost in the radio, drive another mile
So I could be with you awhile

I just wanna be that someone you weren't looking for
Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door
And when you're sad and blue, my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile

Tired of serious conversation
Tangled up in situations
I feel so free, 'cause you want nothing from me

I just wanna be that someone you weren't looking for
Some hopeless vagabond, asleep there on your floor
And when you're old and gray, my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile

I just wanna be that someone you weren't looking for
Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door
And when you're old and gray, my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile

I just want to be with you awhile
I just want to be with you awhile
I just want to be with you
