this is ivy league – viola lyrics

standing on the stage, she looked at me
or maybe it could never be
she wouldn’t look at me unless she knew the way that i need her
i really need her

viola, viola, viola,
oh oh oh
i really need you

viola, viola, viola,
oh oh oh
i really love you

see the way her stockings match her eyes
hear the way she sings and cries
a lovely ballad or perhaps an upbeat folk tune, or an original
i am so pitiful

viola, viola, viola,
oh oh oh
i really need you

viola, viola, viola,
oh oh oh
i really love you

do you have a lover?
do you love him tenderly?
maybe he’s backstage, sipping whiskey patiently
when you are away, do you miss him horribly?
and if not… could it be me?
