Waving At Strangers - Masquerade lyrics

I saw you one day at the Masquerade At a show for a band but I never caught your name You had a little blue skirt, a star on your shirt Those eyes, oh my, I never had to say a word I fell for you, I failed to move I was dumbstruck solid like my feet were glued You took your leave, you turned to wink And every night since I cry myself to sleep Why?!!! Why didn't I try?!!! I just stared and gazed as you walked away And I know I'll never know you felt the same that day Never, is forever! Why?!!! It was a rainy afternoon the 11th of June I was late for a date with a girl named Sue I stopped for a Coke, and what do you know, I see your little green Beetle at the Texaco Well, I check your ride, then I went inside From the back to the front I checked every aisle I should have known, you were on the phone By the time I got outside, your bug was gone I can't believe... I can't seem... I can't take any more!!!! Why?!!! Why didn't I try?!!! I just stared and gazed as you walked away And now I know I'll never know you felt the same that day Never, is forever! Why?!!! This whole thing seems like such a tease I feel I am chasing the girl of my dreams I've come so close to finally knowing your name But I turn around and you're gone again!! I can't remain just playing these games Cause I fighting just to breathe and hold myself at the seams And I never wanna fall for any other girl again Cause these words are for you They come from heart to the pen Now I'm asking while crashing Through the regret of my lacking To have the courage to ask But my courage won't back me When I look into those eyes And see the surprise I never wanna blink I just want you to be mine Here we are again You've come to see my band And there's no way I'm screwing up again... I just stopped this song to talk to you alone And I know after the show we're gonna get it on Why?!!! Why didn't I try?!!! Why?!!! Why didn't I try?!!! I just stopped this song to talk to you alone And I know after the show we're gonna get it on Oh Misty? or Susan? or Tara? or Mrs. Stewart? Was her name.
