Here’s Looking at You, Kid

[Verse 1]
You can tell Gail, if she calls
That I'm famous now for all these rock and roll songs
And even if that's a lie
She should've given me a try
When we were kids on the field of the first day of school
I would've been her fool
And I would've sang out your name in those old high school halls
You tell that to Gail if she calls

[Verse 2]
And you can tell Jane, if she writes
That I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights
And that's total deceit
But she should've married me
And tell her I spend every night of my youth on the floor
Bleeding out from all these wounds
And I would've gotten her right out of that town she despised
You tell that to Janie if she writes

[Chorus]
But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes
That'll cut you to ribbons sometimes
And all you can do is just wait by the moon
And bleed if it's what she says you ought to do

[Verse 3]
You remind Anna, if she asks why
That a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind
I heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool
And goes crazy over that New York Scene on 7th Avenue
But I used to wait in a diner a million nights without her
Praying she won't cancel again tonight
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh
You remind Anna, if she asks you why
Tell her it's alright

[Outro]
You know it's hard to tell you this
It's hard to tell you this
Here's looking at you, kid
