"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
