The Half I Saw

I first saw her face on a silver screen

It was a matinee, a european

I kept returning for at least ten more shows

Then i followed that film 'round until it closed



Someone else should've been thinking for me

They would've said an actress only gives you half the story



The half i saw was more than enough

The half i saw was almost too much



I joined her fan club boy did i ever feel young

I couldn't stop myself i was so badly stung

I found out where she lived i quit my job to find

This flicker in the dark i couldn't leave behind



Someone else should've been thinking for me

They would've said an actress only gives you half the story



I went to santa barbara and tried to find that girl

But no one can ever tell you it's impossible...



I hitchhiked home and i got my old job back

I had to take their shit i had to watch them laugh

Now i spend my nights in front of my t.v.

I finally figured out just what she means to me



No one else has to do my thinking for me

I want my actress to just only tell me half the story



The half i saw was more than enough

The half i saw was almost too much
