Now the evening has come to a close
And I've had my last dance with you
Unto the empty streets we go
And it might be my last chance with you
So I might as well get it over
The things I have to say won't wait until another day

You're a lady, I'm a man
You're supposed to understand
How these things are often planned to be

You're romantic, I'm a fool
You're the teacher
I've come to school
Here I sit and hope that you'll love me

You're pure magic, unlock my chain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
So I say with no restrain
Be mine, be mine

Hard to answer, this I agree
But then I've got to know
I'm not asking you to marry me
Just a little love to show
Oh, I know I could make you happy
So the things I have to say won't wait until another day

You're a lady, I'm a man
You're supposed to understand
How these things are often planned to be

You're romantic, I'm a fool
You're the teacher
I've come to school
Here I sit and hope that you'll love me

You're pure magic. unlock my chain
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
So I say with no restrain
Be mine, be mine
