I only wanna be with you

My friends tell me I am too unromantic a poet,
So I decided to write an ode to love, love as I know it;

I was with my friends, returning from the Alibag trip,
If there's one thing about that weekend, I won't ever forget, it's this;

We were on the launch, which for infathomable reasons was called a catamaran,
We were pretty worn out, and to nap on the whole ride was the plan,

We had seats on the upper deck of the pretty crowded ferry,
Thats when I saw her, she was seated opposite and facing me.

You're beautiful, its true; And I only wanna be with you


The small voyage on the Arabian was full of pretty sights,
The warm glow of the setting sun and the sea-gull's flights;

But there were none that could in any way compare,
To the one sight that took away all my cares;

I took one look and I knew, I wouldn't be taking that nap after all,
I couldn't say exactly what about her, had me enthralled;

I wouldn't say she was the most beautiful, nor the hottest,
But there was something about her face, that made me wanna confess...

You're beautiful, its true; And I only wanna be with you


She was dressed quite simply, nothing flashy,
But she stood out in the crowd, boy! was she pretty;

I smiled at her and she gave a glorious smile back,
It was delightful and my heart beat went off the track;

For some strange reason the cruise seemed incredibly short,
And before I even knew it, we were at the port;

I followed her as she went ashore,
But the crowd closed in behind her and she was gone;

It was time to face the truth; I would never be with you


It broke my heart to see her go, thats true
But I had no idea what else I was to do;

I cursed myself, as I wandered around on the shore.
Then I saw another girl, prettier than anyone I had seen before

I realized I was being dumb, I had got it all wrong
So what if one girl had left, another one would soon be along;

This cheered me up, and brought a smile to my lips,
The girl smiled back too, and my heart quipped...

You're beautiful, its true; And I only wanna be with you
