I saw you coming
I called your name
You couldn't hear me
You walked on by
[Something had changed],
[Memory banks rearranged]
You didn't see me
You didn't answer
I was invisible to your touch
I tried to tell you
I was your friend
You just kept walking
Like it was the end
[Let's talk],
Tell me all about it
[Let's talk],
What could it hurt now?
[Let's talk],
Won't you tell me what is wrong, yeah?
[Let's talk],
We can work it out, somehow
I saw you coming
You wore a wig
I wanted to laugh
But you looked so serious
I said "let's talk"
And you just walked
How was I
To approach you?
You really left no room
Run out in the crowd
If you really want to
But why not try
For something new?
[Let's talk],
Tell me all about it
[Let's talk],
What could it hurt now?
[Let's talk],
Won't you tell me what is wrong, yeah?
[Let's talk],
We can work it out, somehow
[Let's talk],
Tell me all about it
[Let's talk],
What could it hurt now?
[Let's talk],
Won't you tell me what is wrong, yeah?
[Let's talk],
We can work it out, somehow
[Let's talk],
Tell me all about it
[Let's talk],
What's it gonna hurt now?
[Let's talk],
Won't you tell me what is wrong, yeah?
[Let's talk],
We can work it out (out x 14)
