Lyrics

    
i wish i knew you and i wish i could get close to you
 
i've had an eye on you since the first time i
saw you at a late nightspot with a friend of mine
although I've never met you I've always smiled at you
but it was never the right time
 
oh i wish i knew you and i wish i could get close to you
 
i could walk up to you but then what would I say?
it's not easy for me, what if you turned away?
i never was too good at all these games you have to play
so I just wait another day
 
but i wish i knew you and i wish i could get close to you
 
       maybe i'm too shy - could be foolish pride that holds me back
       but if i let you get by - i know i'll always ask myself why i
       didn't try
 
  solo
 
       maybe i'm too shy - could be foolish pride that holds me back
       but if i let you get by - i know i'll always ask myself why i
       didn't try
 
   oh i wish i knew you and i wish i could get close to you
