Once there was a girl that came from not too far from here
|
|
And she wasn't satisfied at the rate that she applied herself
|
|
To the items on the shelf, she was a retail girl
|
|
|
|
And that really has to do with nothing though she gave me something
|
|
A smile I'll rely on for a lifetime I'd try on for awhile
|
|
|
|
So now why is she getting married on the 25th of april
|
|
She believes in higher energy and better things for all the people
|
|
She is a charm of good luck when she's sitting by your side
|
|
But I think my luck run out on april twenty five
|
|
|
|
Oh love, oh love is all I'm looking for
|
|
Sitting in the corner in the dark
|
|
Hoping that she'd eye me, I'm looking right her way
|
|
But I'd never find the right thing to say
|
|
I'd never find the right kind of phrase
|
|
|
|
There was a secret somebody
|
|
Of course I never get the upper hand
|
|
Those kinds of rare finds are all born with a man
|
|
I just don't understand how they can
|
|
|
|
Oh love, oh love is all I'm looking for
|
|
Sitting in the corner in the dark and on the floor
|
|
Hoping that she'd spy on me, I'm looking right her way
|
|
I'd never find the right kind of phrase
|
|
|
|
The right kind, the right line, or the right time to say almost anything that's right
|
|
the right kind of phrase.
|
|
I'd never find the right thing to say
|
