Oh, the innocence
Oh, the irony
When you are on stage with her
And I really like her
And I really like you
and I know the two of you are happy together
And you're reading the play
"Oh, the Innocence"
About the best friend
Who likes his wife
About the women who secuces him
With her dress unzipped
And I find myself wanting to get closer to you
My friends I came with
Were teasing me on the way over
About being too innocent
Oh, the irony
That the play was
"Oh, the Innocence"
And I find myself wanting to be closer to you
The next day when the phone rang
And I heard your voice
I felt vibration in my heart
And hung up the phone
Wanting to call back
And ask your girlfriend to go to the beach
But I couldn't because
I find myself wanting to get closer to you
The next day when the phone rang
And I heard your voice
I felt vibrations in my heart
Hung up the phone
Rushed to throw on a dress
Before you arrive
But you were there so soon
I didn't have time to zip up my dress
"Oh, the Innocence"
comes to mind
And I laugh to myself
Oh, the irony
That I find myself wanting to be closer to you
