I missed the right moment
to get to know you
now it has passed
I won’t have a chance to show you
The gates are closed
you’ve chosen your way
the grass I’m sitting on
is turning to hay
You told it to my face
but I can’t understand
in quite clear terms
but I can’t understand
You told it to my face
but I can’t understand
in my silly mind
I’m holding your hand oh
Potential lovers
I’m taking you off that list
Potential friends
I’d hate to take you off of that list too
Potential lovers
I’m taking you off that list
Potential friend
It’s giving you comfort that
you’ve known him for long
your feelings had so much time
to grow strong
And I don’t even know him
so what should I say
While the grass I’m sitting on
is turning to hay
You told it to my face
but I can’t understand
in quite clear terms
but I can’t understand
You told it to my face
but I can’t understand
in my silly mind
I’m holding your hand oh
Potential lovers
I’m taking you off that list
Potential friends
I’d hate to take you off of that list too
Potential lovers
I’m taking you off that list
Potential friend
