    Lyrics
    Hey there lookin' at me
    Tell me what do you see
    But you quickly turn your head away
    Try to find the words I could use
    Don't have the courage to come up to you.
    My chance is looking a bit grey

    Staring across the room
    Are you leaving soon?
    I just need a little time

    What is it that drives me mad
    Girls like you that I never had
    What is it about you that I adore?
    What makes me feel so much pain
    That makes me go so insane
    What is it about you that I adore?

    Staring across the room
    Are you leaving soon?
    I just need a little time
    One time!

    Why did you have to leave so soon?
    Why did you have to walk away?
    Oh well it happened again
    She walked away with her boyfriend
    Maybe we'll meet again someday

    Maybe we'll meet again someday
    Maybe we'll meet again someday
    Someday
