# I Could’ve Called, I Guess

Don’t like poetry? Go ahead and skip this one then.

## I Could’ve Called,

## I guess.

I’ve been out here, all week,

Just waiting to see

If you might have time

You felt like wasting with me.

I’m not the best that you’ve seen

I know, because I know me

And I’d like you to see.

If someone as wonderful as you

Wouldn’t mind some time

Dancing under this street lamp

Where I happen to be

And if not, we could do

Anything at all,

As long as you’re

doing it with me.
