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 teeth in his upper jaw He had dirt in his hair, he had dirt everywhere His clothes didn't fit and well, where was it? 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 you looked so bad? I know I scare you, I just wanted to say That you're the most beautiful I've seen today You said thank you very much but please now leave me alone He said where are you going? You said I'm going home Oh please would you invite me to your house sometime You had just seen mine, it's still on the ground He took a bow 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 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 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're sorry, but how could you know That 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 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 I'll remember with a smile this day
