Late at night, and in good company We talked of idleness and injury Problems and feelings shared, now more than halved And the stereo two rooms away Repeated songs we'd hear again And every song became a song about love You were hesitant, and I was naive But I was adamant, and you had to concede We were close But not as close as we might have come to be One thing led to another, as the song always goes And we lay there in bed down to the last of our clothes And by the way, I tried to say I love you I held you close and gave you sympathy Such little thanks for all you did for me But mine's a caring heart, and yours was broken And the stereo two rooms away Repeated songs we'd hear again And every song became a song about love You were hesitant, and I was naive But I was adamant, and you had to concede We were close But not as close as we might have come to be One thing led to another, as the song always goes And we lay there in bed down to the last of our clothes And by the way, I tried to say I love you But the words got jumbled up and I just kissed you again And it was over before it started And we parted
