Give me a moment to say how I feel Ready or not this time I feel like I'm willing to be candid with you You are pretty good with the clever remark But whether or not you mean every word That you say I really don't know We don't ever get that far I just come and then I go like seasons and I think I love you clara I love you clara I am old enough to want to know you better Stairway down to an uptown train A university gig that I don't know very much about Sing with the choir take a taxi home On the way back to for green but Way of the Manhattan bridge You said you were sick of it Garbage on the sidewalks and the sirens all day long I love you clara I love you clara I am old enough to want to know you better It seems like you've got a lot on your plate I can't be someone I'm not I am just a boy to distract you from the stresses and the strains Of an urban life You took me in without question And I need you more than you need me clara I love you clara I am old enough to want to know you better
