SIMPLE QUESTIONS
--Datsdniv
1.
Saw you just the other day
Out there on the street
Straight out of my wildest dreams--thought we’d never meet
And, of course, we didn’t
‘Cause I didn’t have the intestines
To walk up to you and ask a couple simple questions:
CHORUS
You wanna dance?
You wanna talk?
Wanna have coffee? Or go for a walk?
Could you use a laugh?
Do you need a shoulder?
How about a night to remember when you get older?
2.
I saw you yesterday
When I was in town
You were ten times more beautiful than anything else around
And I wished I’d had lessons
In bein’ a ladies’ man
I’d swagger over and hit you up like only those guys can
But I ain’t. I had to let you go
I watched you walk away
Still rehearsing in my mind the things I’d like to say:
CHORUS AGAIN (SAME ONE):
You wanna dance?
You wanna talk?
Wanna have coffee? Or go for a walk?
Could you use a laugh?
Do you need a shoulder?
How about a night to remember when you get older?
BRIDGE:
How come this ain’t a nightmare?
Why can’t I wake and see
My life is really perfect ‘cause you’re lying next to me?
3.
Hey, I might come back tomorrow
Maybe you will, too
And I’ll practice so I don’t stutter when I finally talk to you
You brighten every street you walk
You haunt me in my dreams
And I just have some simple questions I hope you’ll answer me:
CHORUS (SAME ONE):
You wanna dance?
You wanna talk?
Wanna have coffee? Or go for a walk?
Could you use a laugh?
Do you need a shoulder?
How about a night to remember when you get older?
