Same Old Story
Noonday Demon
Sarah's sitting there
In her office chair
Strike a conversation
“How are you?” “or “How's your day been?”
I know a coffee spot
And, though it's not a lot
I'd like to get to know you
Been too shy, but I could show you
Time stops
I reach out my hand
She says
She's got another man
Day after day, the same old story
She turns my way, then she ignores me
Say what you may, but I don't stand a chance
Night after night, the same old heartache
Turn left and right until it's daybreak
It isn't right to feel the way I am, oh no
We sat and talked til dark
In Madison Square Park
Thought it wasn't likely
To find someone who seems to like me
But that was long ago
And Sarah didn't know
the way that I was feeling
God, the way she had me reeling
Time stops
She holds out her hand
She says
She's got another man
We could fly away
If you'd give me (if you'd give me)
Please, just give me a chance
Sarah, we'd be great
If you'd give me (if you'd give me)
Please just, give me a chance
Day after day, the same old story
She turns my way, then she ignores me
Say what you may, but I don't stand a chance
Night after night, the same old heartache
Turn left and right until it's daybreak
It isn't right to feel the way I am,
oh no
oh no
oh no
oh no
