you and him - sophie zelmani

 you were in the city,

 one night all alone

 waiting for a taxi

 that could take you home

 you swa a man walking

 down the street, towards you

 and you could see he had no teeth

 in his upper jaw

 he had dirt in his hair,

 he had dirt everywhere

 his clothes didn't fit,

 and one eye was hit

 he asked you if you had

 a minute to talk

 you said you didn't talk to strangers

 and you started to walk

 his eyes looked sad

 and he asked you why

 you acted like this,

 was it because he looked so bad

 i know i scare you,

 but i just wanted to say

 that you're the most beautiful,

 i've seen today

 you said

 thank you very much

 but pleace now

 leave me alone

 he said where are you going

 you said

 i'm going home

 oh pleace would you invite me

 to your house sometime

 you have just seen mine,

 it's here on tha ground

 he took a bottle from his jacket

 and he said cheers

 and you felt it was gone,

 that feeling of fear

 you said

 what happened to you,

 how could you

 end up like this

 you must have had your choices,

 so tell me what this is

 he said

 you don't know a thing about me

 all you know is only what you see

 even if i've lost the most

 of my brain

 i still can see the sun and i can feel

 when it rains

 i tried to be friendly,

 i tried to be nice

 but you turned me your back and

 you were as chilly as ice

 i didn't ask you for money,

 i asked you for words

 it's not my life that bothers,

 it's the way you act that hurts

 you said you were sorry,

 but how could you know

 what someone like him,

 suddenly could do

 but then you talked

 until the taxi arrived

 you said you had to go,

 you said goodnight

 there's only one thing

 i wanna tell you

 before you go

 i know you wanna get home

 i know you do

 i just wanted to tell you,

 i just wanted to say

 that i'll remember

 with a smile this day
