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"¦
