Girl

sitting at the railway station
reading books about intimidation
waiting for my girl to come
and if she does will she be dumb
or really smart
will she break my heart
and wad it up and throw it in my face
I knew I'd find a nice girl someday
find a nice girl
settle down
someone I can talk to
someone I don't have to talk to
someone who'll gimme time and gimme space
and take it all away sitting at the bus station
reading books about legislation
suddenly my girl comes
and she's not even dumb
in fact she's kinda smart
will she break my heart
and wad it up and throw it in my face
I knew I'd find a nice girl someday
sind a nice girl
settle down
someone I can talk to
someone I don't have to talk to
someone who'll gimme time and gimme space and take it all away
actually I've never even been to a railroad station even though
I used to live near one
and still I'm waiting for my girl to come
and if she does will she be dumb
or really smart
will she break my heart
and wad it up and throw it in my face
wad it up and throw it in my face
I knew I'd find a nice girl someday
find a nice girl
settle down
someone I can talk to
someone I don't have to talk to
someone I can talk to
someone I don't have to talk to
someone I can talk to
someone I don't have to talk to
someone I can talk to
someone I don't have to talk to
someone I can talk to
someone I don't have to talk to
someone I can talk to
