This is a big, big place,
And it be out of line for a guy like me
To so much as began to ask your name.
You know just how pretty you are,
I guess you just caught my eye
But how I wish, I wish you’d care.
I can pretend all I like
To be somebody I’m not
In order to set out to win you,
But I can never change who I am
And you’d never ask me to stay.
How I wish, I wish you’d care.
My drink has run out,
And I don’t think I can take any more
So it’s now or never
Just to ask your name,
But instead I shuffle right by you,
And I never see you again.
How I wish, I wish you’d care.
