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 said the time was right 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.
[Instrumental break.]
And when we've had a few more days.
(When we've had a few more days.)
I wonder if I'll get to say,
(Wonder if I'll get to say,)
You didn't have to be so nice.
(Be so nice.)
I would have liked you anyway.
(Would have liked...)
