"DIANA"

Fly me back to Russia with you

I’ve never been there before

From what I can tell it’s freezing cold

But maybe I can keep you warm

I know we’ve just met in this all-night diner

I’m never this type of guy

But I’ve been a real mess, all lonely lately

So why not give it a try?

 

Give me a try

Hey, Diana

Give me a try

 

I’m sure I look dumb: Just a boy with a beer

I eat my food way too fast

You’re taller than me by about two feet

Your boyfriend could kick my ass

But I ain’t too worried ‘bout none of these things

I ain’t worried about nothin’ now

Just that you get home safe, all pretty and tired

We can make it happen no matter how

 

So give me a try

Hey, Diana

Give me a try

Please, Diana

Give me a try

 

I tell you I’ll call if I ever get to Europe

You laugh and say, “Please do”

But you give me no number, no address or coordinates

You give me no way to reach you

Now it’s been rainin’ hard all day and night

You can’t go out with just that scarf

So take my umbrella and walk away

But I’ll always wonder where you are

 

Give me a try

Hey, Diana

Give me a try

Please, Diana 

Give me a try
