What was that about the ballroom dancing class I asked about?
It's all I've thought about 'cause you were saying
We might get a chance to talk and talk might turn to dance
And maybe dance might lead to dates and dates to aging
I hope you let your intuition precede my reputation
Cause I have one
Cause 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 you'll ask for me by name
Not today
Well, if this is love then it's hard to say
With your notes and your looks and your reaching away
And I've confidence issues with your intentions
Well sugar I'm not hip to all your tricks
With your algebra and your politics
And the band has planned a hotel intervention
S don't you leave me by my lonesome to exceed my reputation
Cause I have one
Cause I am what you see
I am not what they say
But if I turned out to be
Could you love me anyway
Standing alone on this
Hoping your heart will just
Wake up and ask for me by name
Maybe someday you'll ask for me by name
Not today
Look at my life
And look at my face
Can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve
So you're holding my hand
Holding my heart
I just want to feel your breath so I can breathe
The quicksand's pulling me down
I'm always here
I've walked you home
Then headed for my own
Until again I'm needed
Cause I am what you see
I am not what they say
But if I turned out to be
Could you love me anyway
Cause 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 you'll ask for me by name
Maybe someday you'll ask for me
Not today
