I Spy

I Spy – Richard Ruane

My sister plays accordion and I can strum guitar
We often play a song or two down at our local bar
I think it’s where I saw you, you were watching from afar
And all I want is a bit of conversation

I like to watch the sky and see a circle ‘round the moon
I like to make up words to sing to someone else’s tune
Why don’t we talk about it on a sunny afternoon
All I want is a bit of conversation

Oh, some say life is dangerous, and worry all the time about who to trust
But you seem pretty safe, oh, I can tell
I think that we could get on pretty well
You and I could talk about it for a spell
And all I want is a bit of conversation

I think that life is rosy and I bet you think so too
You make me feel so cozy, every time I look at you
You smile so awful sweet, I don’t know what I ought to do
And all I want is a bit of conversation

I’d like to know you better; I bet you could be a friend
We’ll take it slow and chummy, but who knows where it could end
Oh you can play it coy but that’s not what I recommend
And all I want is a bit of conversation

Oh, some say life is dangerous, and they worry, worry, worry about who to trust
But you seem pretty safe and so am I
Let me treat you to a coffee and some pie
I’m not saying things will work, but we could try
All I want is a bit of conversation

Maybe I’m too forward, I don’t know
It never hurts to take a chance, and here I go
I’m not looking for commitment, don’t you know
All I want is a bit of conversation
All I want
