I Knew a Girl
R. DAWSON & S. FINK

I knew a girl

Up on the hill

She opened the door

Dressed to kill

Better believe me

She wouldn't deceive me

Sweet get up and go

Every night

The boys in town

There at the bar

Didn't have a clue

Right from the start

They didn't see me

Wanna take it easy

Oh la la

Here we go again

You can see it in the stars

Hear it in the song

'Bout the way

We carry on

Do you feel it in your heart?

See it in the song?

All the ways

We carry on

It's a small world

Here comes the man

He said he was

Your biggest fan

He said, "Baby don't tease me

You're gonna release me"

And he said, "Well

Looks that way"

Oh little angel

Too hot to handle

In a tattered dress

You light a candle

The way you treat me

Know you'll never leave me

They think we're crazy

And I don't care

You can see it in the stars

Hear it in the song

'Bout the way

We carry on

Do you feel it in your heart?

See it in the song?

All the ways

We carry on
