Would you laugh if I told you?
Life it's really got me down¦
Kind of corny but it's true¦ Could I talk awhile to you?

When I look into your eyes¦
I see mountains we can climb¦
And for all that it is worth¦your smile digs me from the dirt¦.

This world is cold and messed-up¦
We can't let that affect us¦so¦
Can I buy you breakfast?
Good conversation¦coffee and cigarettes¦

Would you let me cry out loud?
If I had something to confess¦
Could you show me how to laugh?
Hold me in your warm caress¦.

We don't have to make love¦
So much else to think of¦so¦
Can I buy you breakfast?
A donut and your voice beats all the rest¦

This world is cold and messed-up¦
We can't let that affect us¦so¦
Can I buy you breakfast?
Good conversation¦coffee and cigarettes¦
Since no one can protect us¦
Nothing else I'm sure of¦
Can I buy you breakfast?
I know that we are gonna be alright¦

Would you laugh if I told you?
Life it's really got me down¦
Kind of corny but it's true¦
Could I talk awhile to you¦.
