LOVELY GIRL I DID NOT SEE
My neighbor in our cheap hotel brought you home last night,
And I could hear every word that went between
As you rocked together in the throes of dear delight.
And your voice and your sighs made me fantasize
I knew just how you would be
Although we've never met yet, lovely girl I did not see.
The gentle female sounds you made cracked my solitude
And my body caught the gist of what they mean.
I had to wish that you and I were dancing in the nude,
As your moans and your cries made me realize
I knew just how it would be
Although it's never been, lovely girl I did not see.
Well, the room next door is empty now, my neighbor went away,
I heard him tell you Goodbye, that he'd take the bus today.
But don't feel sad and lonely, it will be all right,
I know just where you could come and sleep tonight.
But can I ever find you, like some stranger on the street?
Well, perhaps you'll hear this song I sing:
I won't be jealous of last night, I thought that it was sweet,
When your soft little cries made my wonder rise.
And I think I know how we might be,
Although we've never been, lovely girl I did not see.
