There must be something we can talk about And maybe there's something here that we can do No matter what your friends say, don't go too far Remember there's just one thing Whenever you come this way You know I wouldn't get you down I just like talking to you It's raining outside I shake my shoes, downstairs You never stop dancing You don't make much sense No matter what your friends say Don't go too far Remember there's just one thing Whenever you come this way Maybe we can get together We can get together You know I wouldn't get you down I just like talking to you Maybe we can get together We can get together Later sometime You can buckle my shoes You can pick up my sticks You can knock on my door There must be something we can talk about Maybe there's something here we can do Don't go back home, babe Don't go too far Remember there's just one thing Whenever you come this way Maybe we can get together We can get together You know I wouldn't get you down I just like talking to you Maybe we can get together We can get together Later sometime You can buckle my shoes You can pick up my sticks You can knock on my door You know I walk in the rain I said it rains in my heart You ought to be in my shoes Won't you open that door We can get together We can get together Baby, we can get together We can get together Later sometime You can buckle my shoes You can pick up my sticks Why don't you open that door
