You'll Ask for Me

What was that about
The ballroom dancing class I asked about
Its all Ive thought about
Cause you were saying
We might get a chance to talk
And talk might lead to dance
And maybe dance might lead
To dates and dates to aging

Hope you let your intuition

Precede my reputation
Cause I have one

I am what you see
I am not what they say
But if I turned out to be
Could you love me anyway

Standing anonymous
Hoping your heart will just

Wake up and ask for me by name

Maybe someday youll ask for me
By name, just not today

Well, if this is love then its hard to say
With your notes and your books
And your reaching away
And Ive confidence issues with your intentions

And Im not hip to all your tricks
With your algebra and your politics
And the band has planned a hotel intervention

So dont you leave me by my lonesome
To exceed my reputation
Cause I have one
I am what you see
I am not what they say
But if I turned out to be
Could you love me anyway
Standing anonymous
Hoping your heart will just
Wake up and ask for me by name
Maybe someday youll ask for me
By name, just not today

Im always here

Ive walked you home

Then headed for my own

Until again Im needed

I am what you see
I am not what they say
But if I turned out to be
Could you love me anyway

Standing anonymous
Hoping your heart will just
Wake up and ask for me by name

Maybe someday youll ask for me
By name, just not today
Not today
