By the way did I hear you say
   If some night I seem too lonely
   You would stay
   Oh and by the way
   Have I told you yet that only recently
   He moved out on me
   Took the towels we stole
   From some motel in Tennessee
   He was gone long before he really left
   I knew it ...
   By the way he began to say:
   Love takes time, I’m in a hurry
   Anyway that’s all yesterday
   Let’s get back to us
   Why worry?
   If you try calling by and by
   Oh, and by the I thought I mention
   You can’t stay...
   Neath the lights
   You don’t look a thing like he did
   And it’s time to play
   It’s another day
   Why can’t we make love fall
   By the way?
