From the recording Please Please Please

Please, Please, Please is the first song 52 West recorded.  The lyrics Larry wrote are the story of unrequited love that involves both the man and the woman over time.  As a story, the song has a lot of visual imagery and emotion.  At this point, we were just getting our recording feet wet.

Lyrics

She was a dark haired woman, had a sly happy smile.I edged a little closer thought I'd stay for a while.She asked for a check, she was about to leave.I said, hey pretty lady can I get your name please?She said, sorry boy but I’m already taken.But you must be sincere, ’cause your hands are a shakin'.I said please, please, please won’t you give me your name?You're such a tease, tease, tease, and I’m feeling the pain.I said, please, please, please can I see you again?Can I get a squeeze, squeeze baby, please tell me when?Well its was one year later, I was standing in line.I saw a dark haired beauty, she was look’n so fine.Then she turned around and smiled, and I knew right awayIt was the dark haired lady, and she's head’n my way.She said, sorry boy but I’m already taken.But you must be sincere, ’cause I see your hands a shakin'.I said please, please, please won’t you give me your name?You're such a tease, tease, tease, and I’m feeling the pain.I said, please, please, please can I see you again?Can I get a squeeze, squeeze baby, please tell me when?It was one year later that I saw her again.She said, hey little boy, I’ve missed ya, where have you been?I thought my luck might have changed. I thought I’d ask her again.You see sometimes you lose and sometimes you win.She said, hey little boy I'm no longer taken.Can you see I'm sincere, ’cause my hands are a shakin'.She said please, please, please won’t you give me your name?You're such a tease, tease, tease, and I’m feeling the pain.She said, please, please, please can I see you again?Can I get a squeeze, squeeze baby, please tell me when?She said please, please, please won’t you give me your name?You're such a tease, tease, tease, and I’m feeling the pain.She said, please, please, please can I see you again?Can I get a squeeze, squeeze baby, please tell me when?
