lyrics

I come across you every day and I wonder why you don’t say anything to me
And when I see you I feel like I can touch the sky, oh darling that’s the power you have on me
Why don’t you sit by me at lunch sometime
Or knock on my front door, oh that I wouldn’t mind
Why don’t things go the way I want to, and how are you so blind? I’m standing right here

I smile at you and your family every once in a while, you seem to see me back, you do
I feel it’s only polite to next say hi, but you never seem to want to
Why don’t you notice what’s in front of you
How can’t you see the way I look at you
Is this something you would ever want, or am I just being a fool, I think I might be

I know what you got on the mile run, aaand I also know that that is creepy
I pay attention to the ones I love, aaand my oh my you sure are speedy
Why don’t you watch me like I watch you
How can’t you notice me, I notice you
Why is it that every time I day dream, it seems way too unreal, is it too good to be true?

I wonder if you’ll ever hear my song, and do that funny dance you always do
If it would take you very long, to realize that I am perfect for you
Why don’t you notice me? I notice you
How can’t you see all that I see in you
You’ll find that there is someone who likes you for all that you are, by the way that would be me

Why don’t you sit by me at lunch sometime
Or knock on my front door, trust me, I wouldn’t mind
Why don’t things go the way I want to, but maybe they will now- I’m standing right here
