When I said I didn’t like your name
What I meant was that it’s all I say it’s all I say
And if desert keeps your heart away
Well then soak me in the coldest rain the coldest rain
I hope this won’t make me foolish
I’m not one you want to pity
We never were strangers, were we?
Funny, I almost fear you
I should warn you my heart can hear you
Speak softer when you tell me you don’t love me
It was a bitter, bitter spring
And the wind snuck out my love while we were kissing on the swing
And it threw it at you so,
In a way you’ll never know
Because you didn’t see it coming and you’ll never see it go
I hope you don’t think I’m silly,
I’ve pondered this so so many times
We never were strangers, were we?
Funny, I’m almost friendly
I should warn you, I’m not pretending
I hope this won’t make me foolish
I’m not one you want to pity
We never were strangers, were we?
Funny, I almost fear you
I should warn you my heart can hear you
Speak softer when you tell me you don’t love me
