Like a big name on headphones,
on billboards, and on TVs,
you're often seen but rarely met.

You won't probably care, but...
sadly, you didn't know that my eyes
see you, that this one eyes... you
the day my performance was cut.

You stole my furtive glance.
You'd make me look foolish;
luckily, I didn't lose my stance.

No, you're too much to be a thief;
maybe you won't care much
about theft and treachery.

So show me a bit of your sorrow;
I'll tell you some of mine tomorrow.

Again, sharp and delicate ace,
I'll lay my cards down--
I don't want to just let
my hope's chips down--
if you make a bet.
