lyrics

You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true

You came upon a quiet day
Ooh
You simply seemed to take your place
Ooh
I knew that it would be that way
Ooh
The minute that I saw your face
Ooh

And when we've had a few more days
When we've had a few more days
I wonder if I'll get to say
Wonder if I'll get to say
You didn't have to be so nice
Be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
Would have liked

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true

You didn't have to be so nice
Didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
Would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
Once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way
Quiet way
