I heard it from a friend 
Who heard it from another
She said she liked the way 
I smiled at You in Monterey 

I have more hights than lows 
And we could add them up 
But we'd be running out of fingers and toes 
Oh well, on good days 
That's usually the way it goes 

But tonight I'm so lonely 
Just put you arms around me 
And tell me that you love me so much 
I'm tired of seeking slowly 
Lately I've been crazy 
Maybe I'm just getting out of touch 
Now I'm holding on 
'Till the night is gone

I'm an average guy 
But people like to have their heroes 
I'm seldom nervous 
Dry or shy 
And usually it always shows 

Until this feeling goes away 
Until I get the needed dose 
Until You put Your arms around 
And hold me close
