When I was waiting in a bar where were you ?
When I was buying you a drink where were you ?
When I was crying home in bed where were you ?
When I watched you from a distance did you see me ?
You were standing in a queue did you see me ?
You had yellow hair did you see me ?
I want to talk to you all night do you like me ?
I want to find out about your life do you like me ?
Could you ever be my wife do you love me ?
