Ray, as of today I can't say things will

Ever be the same

And that could be a shame

 'Cause though I think I know another lonely

Exile when I see one

And you appear to be one

Still

Chorus

I'm playing it down 'cause I could really be found

 If you've got it to spare

I'm playing it cool but it's terribly cruel

 'Cause I ought to be there

 And Ray, what can I say you don't know me and

It's just wishful thinking

To keep myself from sinking

Hence, no evidence to support any

Theory I have handy

That you could understand me

 And so

Chorus

 'Cause you're as bad off as me

 And Ray, can we repay ourselves for days that we've

Lost through indecision

With one of recognition

 If so, then here I go 'cause some things you know -ow

And some you just believe in

Hope it comes out even

 Ahh ah ah

Chorus

 'Cause I ought to be there I-I 3x
