Here I Am

Hello. I'm the guy who sits next to you

And reads the newspaper over your shoulder

Wait, don't turn the page I'm not finished

Life is so uncertain.



Here I am, yes, it's me

Take my hand and you'll see

Here I am, yes, it's true

All I want, girl, is you



Given that true intellectual and emotional compatability

Are at the very least difficult

If not impossible to come by

We could always opt for the more temporal gratification

Of sheer physical attraction

That wouldn't make you a shallow person would it?



Here I am, yes, it's me

Take my hand and you'll see

Here I am, yes, it's true

All I want, girl, is you.



If Ford is to Chevrolet

What Dodge is to Chrysler

What Corn Flakes are to Post Toasties

What the clear blue sky is to the deep blue sea

What Hank Williams is to Neil Armstrong

Can you doubt we were made for each other.



Here I am, yes, it's me

Take my hand and you'll see

Here I am, yes, it's true

All I want, girl, is you.



Look, I understand too little too late

I realize there are things you say and do

You can never take back

But what would you be if you didn't even try

You have to try

So after a lot of thought

I'd like to reconsider

Please, if it's not too late

Make it a cheeseburger.



Here I am, yes, it's me

Take my hand and you'll see

Here I am, yes, it's true

All I want, girl, is you...
