[Verse 1: Terry Kath]

I saw her once before

She didn't turn me on

One night she stopped to talk

To pass the time

And then I saw her eyes

Her softly smiling glow

We sat and talked all night at Byblos

[Verse 2: Terry Kath, (Bandmates)]

She talked of feelings

That I knew were true, knew were true

She painted me a picture

Using every shade of blue (Every shade of blue)

It was light with laughter (Ooh)

At times it made me cry (Ooh)

And now I'll never know just why

I didn't ever try to hold her

To squeeze her

To kiss her all night long

I never tried to please her

[Verse 3: Terry Kath, with bandmates]

Then, soon she had to go

I sat there all alone

And thought of things she said

The whole day through

And then I realized

I never took the time

To find out where she lived

Or where to call

[Verse 4: Terry Kath, (Bandmates)]

I thought that I would see her

The next night (The next night)

Ooh, anticipating how

I'd set myself right (How to make that right)

Then, I went back to Byblos (Ooh)

I sat there and waited (Ooh)

Feeling just a little nervous

And a little frustrated

Then, soon, in she came

Looking just the same

Ooh, I could hardly wait to take her

Far from the game

[Verse 5: Terry Kath]

Then a person came in to the club

That I had to speak to

I explained the situation to her

And I thought she understood

But I guess she thought

That I was jiving her around

'Cause when I looked for her

This is what I found

[Bridge: All]

She was rapping

With a real good friend of mine

He was happening

Oh, it was his time

I really couldn't blame him

He was sad and lonely too

Just talking to her did me so much good

I knew she'd do him good too

[Verse 6: Terry Kath]

Then I went home and I got it on

Sat down to write these words

When I was finally alone

Then about halfway through

Wondered if someone knew

Where she was so I could give her a call

And I found out that she was right down the hall

[Outro: Terry Kath, with bandmates]

Not too far away

But that's okay

I'll just wait for the day

When I can see her again

And spend some time

Ooh, time, some time, some time

Go and get her, go and get her

Go back and get her, go and get her

Shall I get ya? Gonna get ya

Can't forget ya, ooh, get ya

Gonna get ya, ooh
