There's a girl downtown with freckles on
|
Her nose
|
Pencils in her pocket and ketchup on her
|
Clothes
|
She's a real nice girl, pretty as a plate
|
The boys call her Katie when they ask her
|
On a date
|
And who knows Katie?
|
Maybe you could be the one
|
|
There's a boy outside standin in the rain
|
His hands are in his pockets he's a
|
Wonderin why he came
|
He's a real nice boy, slower than the fall
|
The girls call him Billy if they're callin
|
Him at all
|
And who knows Billy?
|
Maybe you could be the one
|
Chorus:
|
But hearts don't fly And words don't sing
|
Boys like you can't buy no ring
|
Loves not stuck It just moves slow
|
Turn around a minute And away we go
|
|
Billy walked inside, ordered up a drink
|
He started gettin nervous and a wonderin
|
What she'd think
|
She thought he looked nice, rough around
|
The seams
|
Just the kind of boy who could listen to
|
Her dreams
|
And who knows Katie? Maybe he could be the one
|
|
Well, they stepped outside, and took a
|
Little walk
|
Katie held his hand and Billy even talked
|
They sat by the pond, they didn't make a
|
Sound
|
The night fell easy as the moon came
|
Down
|
And who knows baby?
|
Maybe we could be the one
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
There's a girl downtown with freckles on
|
Her nose
|
Pencils in her pocket and ketchup on her
|
Clothes
|
She's a real nice girl, pretty as a plate
|
The boys call her Katie when they ask her
|
On a date
|
|
And who knows Katie?
|
Maybe you could be the one
|
Who knows Katie?
|
Maybe you could be the one
|
Who knows baby?
|
Maybe we could be the one
|
