You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway

If you had just looked once or twice
and gone upon your quiet way

Today I said the time was
for me to follow you

I knew I'd find you in a day or two and it's true

You came upon a quiet day
You simply seemed to take your place

I knew that it would be that way
The minute that I saw your face

When we've had a few more days
I wonder if I'll get to say

You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway

Today I said the time was
for me to follow you

I knew I'd find you in a day or two and it's true

You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway

If you had just looked once or twice
and gone upon your quiet way
