You were in the city One night all alone Waiting for a taxi That could take you home
You saw 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
