Lyrics

I liked you best with hair worn long
Dancing on the street
Swiveling your hips along to a four on the floor beat
Tresses combed against your head to show a widows peak
I heard you sing long before I ever heard you speak
Oh I heard you sing long before I ever heard you speak
 
Something hidden in your face
A studied innocence
Your jeans and white a line accent a smooth ambivalence
I couldn't look away from you
I watched you for a week
I saw you dance long before I ever heard you speak
I saw you dance and felt like you were dancing just for me
Uh oh
 
Oh I wonder what is underneath that macho man charade
When you're hanging with your woman do you move in the same way?
I'd know you just as well if I saw you in my sleep
I heard you sing long before I ever heard you speak
I heard you sing long before I ever heard you speak
 
I liked you best with hair worn long
In the subway light
Taller than i thought you'd be
Arms dangling by your side
I watched you kiss a stranger and you looked so sad and sweet
I don't think either one of you ever noticed me
No I don't think either one of you ever noticed me
 
I've seen you dancing on a beach and by a subway train
I've seen you with white makeup on
I've watched you make your name
You've been here with me all along
Your avatar at least
I heard you sing long before I ever heard you speak
I heard you sing and hoped that you would find a friend in me
 
Oh I wonder what your face looks like
When all the lights are out
Sitting in a hotel room with no one but yourself
Are you happy with the man you are
Do you like what you see?
I heard you sing and wondered how you could be so free
I heard you sing and wondered how someone could be free
 
I heard you sing and wondered if I'd ever feel so free
So free
