Lyrics

You may dismiss me as unimportant

A guy who's only in the corner of your eye

Right now I know I'm just a fleeting moment

I'm just an easy friend on whom you can depend

But darling, there will come a day

Oh, when you look at me, my baby, another way

While you're relaxing, I'm gonna happen to you

Oh

Oh baby, oh baby

Ew oh oh baby

Yeah

I only see you in little glimpses

We work together in a world of nine-to-five

I'm only dreamin' of champagne kisses

You pass right by me, honey

But girl, there will come a day, baby

When you look at me, my baby, another way

While you're relaxing, I'm gonna happen to you

To Yyou, to you

There will come a great big day, yeah

When you look at me, my baby, another way

There will come day, baby

Look at me, look at me

There will come a time, baby

When I'll be yours, you'll be mine, baby

There will come
