Byblos (Rehearsal)

[Intro]
One, two
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
I saw her once before
She didn't turn me on
One night she stopped to talk
To pass the time
And then I saw her eyes
Her softly smiling glow
We sat and talked all night at Byblos

[Verse 2]
She talked of feelings that I knew were
She painted me a picture using every shade of blue
It was light with laughter
At times it made me cry
And now I'll never know just why I didn't ever try to hold her
To squeeze her
I'll never gonna kiss her
Never tried to please her

[Verse 3]
Then, soon she had to go
I sat there all alone
And thought of things she said
The whole day through
Then I realized
I never took the time
To find out where she lived
Or where to call

[Verse 4]
I thought that I would see her the next night
Ooh, anticipating how I'd set myself right
Then, I went back to Byblos
I sat there and waited
Feeling just a little nervous, a little frustrated
Then, soon, she came
Looking just the same
Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her
Far from the game

[Verse 5]
Then a lady came in to the club
That I had to speak to
I explained the situation to her
And I thought she understood
But I guess that she thought
I was jiving her around
'Cause when I looked for her
This is what I found

[Bridge]
She was rapping
With a real good friend of mine
He was happening
I guess it was his time
Ooh, I couldn't blame him
Because he was sad and lonely too
But just talking to her did me so much good
I knew she could do him good too

[Verse 6]
Then I went home and I got it on
Sat down to write these words
When I was finally alone
Then about halfway through
I wondered if someone knew
Where she was so I could give her a call
And I found out that she was right down the hall

[Outro]
Not too far away
But that's okay
I'll just wait for the day
When I can see her again
And spend some time
