(One, two, three, four)
Stand in line and it goes on for miles
I'm waving high and I try not to smile
Do you think you could
Hold on to this for a while?
We talk in class and on telephones too
Make some plans from up on the roof
We made a pact
So I'd like to shake hands with you
You call me in from a cold winter storm
Knowing I'd like to shake hands with you
We've got a heart that we trade back and forth
I'll be sure to return it to you
You can run till your feet get real sore
Then we'll sit down and talk it all through
You just leave a light on outside of your door
And you hope that I'll know what to do
I'd like to shake hands with you
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
We are not so alike, I suppose
You don't make the time
You just try to make right with the rose
I'm hardly surprised, this time how it goes
You call me back at the end of the war
Saying I'd like to shake hands with you
We've got a heart that we trade back and forth
I'll be sure to return it to you
You can run till your feet get real sore
Then we'll sit down and talk it all through
You just leave a light on outside of your door
And you hope that I'll know what to do
I'd like to shake hands with you
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
Mmm mmm mmmmmm
You call me in from a cold winter storm
Knowing I'd like to shake hands with you
You've met the latest who's keeping you warm
And now I'm shaking hands with him too
You say, just in case we never talk anymore,
"I'll still wait for you up on the roof."
I try not to smile as I walk out the door
It was nice doing business with you
So I'd like to shake hands with you
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mmm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mmm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmmm
