He keeps his schedule in step
'Cause that's so wise
He keeps his money in check
And one day he'll rise
Don't be surprised if he doesn't call you
He keeps his trouble indoors
'Cause that's so cool
He keeps his feet on the floor
Just like he's in school
Is it okay to care?
Is it okay to stare?
He'd really love to shake your hand
But he won't dare
He keeps his love in the mail
'Cause that's so safe
He keeps his scent of the trail
As if he's a waif
Is it okay to care?
Is it okay to stare?
He'd really love to hold your hand
But he won't dare
Maybe someday
You will challenge the way
That he feels
Maybe someday
When his love gets away
He will feel
"I've tried, I've tried, oh"
He keeps his schedule in step
'Cause that's so wise
