by Sylvan Migdal
I sat beside you on the subway without a glance
I'm sure that I saw you but I didn't see you
As you eyed the meat across a crowded room
And I watched you head off to the buffet
We met last year and last month and last week
I'm sure I knew you but I don't know you
It might be profound but it's probably trite
I really won't care when I'm in your eyes
Lying there floating up over my bed
I'm sure I did you but I didn't anything
Words speak louder in my little world
But I'll be your shrink if you'll be mine
What would I see if I saw you?
What would I know if I knew you?
What would I do if I did you?
What would I be if I was you?
Believing that I can go on without you
So sure I was you but girl I just ain't you
I need you to be whatever I'm not
But I know a girl can't be everything
