i don't know know why i smile when you walk by,
or why i wait for just a little while,
for you to walk right through me and not see me call,
or maybe you do see me, maybe not at all
all the buildings, man they grow so high,
so high, they blacken the sky
but you still manage to make me smile
and for this, i'm gonna hope you'll hang around for a while
you are courteous and [...]
but not like me
or rather unlike me,
i'm sure you see that we
not meant to be but what is meant to be.
all the buildings, man they grow so high,
so high, they blacken the sky
but you still manage to make me smile
and for this, i'm gonna hope you'll hang around for a while
please don't close your eyes to me,
i 'm trying to make this work can't you see
i said please don't close your eyes to me,
i'm trying to make this work, can't you see
that the buildings, man they grow so high,
so high, they blacken the sky
but you still manage to make me smile
and for this, i'm gonna hope you'll hang around for a while
