I wish I could tell you something you didn't know

I wish I could give you something you didn't owe

I wish I could tell you a joke to make you smile

And I could be with you awhile



Just wanna be that someone you weren't looking for

Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door

And when you're sad and blue my jokes still make you smile

And I could be with you awhile



I just want to take you somewhere you haven't been

Find an old time movie where we don't know the end

Lost in the radio, drive another mile

So I could be with you awhile



Just wanna be that someone you weren't looking for

Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door

And when you're sad and blue my jokes still make you smile

And I could be with you awhile



Tired of serious conversation

Tangled up in situations

I feel so free 'cause you want nothing from me



Just wanna be that someone you weren't looking for

Some hopeless vagabond asleep there on your floor

And when you're old and gray my jokes still make you smile

And I could be with you awhile

Just wanna be that someone you weren't looking for

Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door

And when you're old and gray my jokes still make you smile

And I could be with you awhile

I just want to be with you awhile

I just want to be with you awhile

I just want to be with you...
