You And Him

You were in the city,

one night all alone

Waiting for a taxi

that could take you home

You saw a man walking

down the street, towards you

And you could see he had no teeth

in his upper jaw

He had dirt in his hair,

he had dirt everywhere

His clothes didn't fit,

and one eye was hit

He asked you if you had

a minute to talk

You said you didn't talk to strangers

and you started to walk

His eyes looked sad

and he asked you why

you acted like this,

was it because he looked so bad

I know I scare you,

but I just wanted to say

that you're the most beautiful,

I've seen today

You said

Thank you very much

but please now

He said where are you going

leave me alone

You said

I'm going home

Oh please would you invite me

to your house sometime

you have just seen mine,

it's here on the ground

He took a bottle from his jacket

and he said cheers

And you felt it was gone,

that feeling of fear

You said

what happened to you,

how could you

end up like this

You must have had your choices,

so tell me what this is

He said

you don't know a thing about me

All you know is only what you see

Even if I've lost the most

of my brain

I still can see the sun and I can feel

when it rains

I tried to be friendly,

I tried to be nice

But you turned me your back and

you were as chilly as ice

I didn't ask you for money,

I asked you for words

It's not my life that bothers,

it's the way you act that hurts

You said you were sorry,

but how could you know

what someone like him,

suddenly could do

But then you talked

until the taxi arrived

You said you had to go,

you said goodnight

There's only one thing

I wanna tell you

before you go

I know you wanna get home

I know you do

I just wanted to tell you,

I just wanted to say

That I'll remember

with a smile this day
