An unlooked-for love

R2:

I would like someone to love me.
I would like right you to love me.

When finally I got over the past,
one day it struck me that a boy quite nice
has always been living so close to me.
Why never before this guy could I see?

Why haven’t I noticed him far earlier?
It could have saved me much trouble. Oh, dear.
Unlike my last, this seems x times better.
Only yet he has noticed me neither.

R1:

I wonder where you are.
I wonder what you’re doing.
Are you near or far?
And don’t you feel like loving?

I’m happy to see you; expect the day
once a week when you come back from away.
The sight on Sundays brightens my whole week.
Therefore a way to get in touch I seek.

R1:

I wonder where you are.
I wonder what you’re doing.
Are you near or far?
And don’t you feel like loving?

R2:

I would like someone to love me.
I would like right you to love me.

R3:
But you pass me by,
don’t see the light
in my eyes.

How to get your attention? Tell me, how?
Unlooked-for, I begin falling in love.
Though not the best time to start an affair,
I would like you to be my Teddy Bear.

R1:

I wonder where you are.
I wonder what you’re doing.
Are you near or far?
And don’t you feel like loving?

R2:

I would like someone to love me.
I would like right you to love me.

R3:
So don’t you pass me by,
but see the light
in my eyes.
