I take a bus, a train, a moped
I would always find a way
I'd even hitchhike in the rain, just to come and hear you play
No, never would I ever miss a concert starring you
And at night I wouldn't sleep awake
I'd lie there and I would long for you
You played the cello
In every town the hits were turning
I sat in the front row and found you so alluring
Cello, you were a classic hero for me
And sometimes I'd catch your eye
And then me oh my
I'd be a mess for weeks then, hmm
No matter where I was there
'Til at last you saw the light
I might be more than just a fan for you
And the love that we shared, it felt so right
Just sitting backstage, holding hands with you
Now you've long since settled somewhere
And you stored away your cello
Come on now, won't you get out
And play one more so sweet and mellow?
You played the cello
In every town the hits were turning
I sat in the front row and found you so alluring
Cello, you were a classic hero for me
And sometimes I'd catch your eye
Whoa, and then oh me, oh my
I'd be a mess for weeks then
Oh, ah, ah-ah
You played the cello
