The Girl Out There

​

I see you; you’re walking down the street
You are the kind of girl the kind I like to meet
You are the girl out there, the girl out there

You lie down among the flowing grasses
You can turn the heads of any men that pass
You are the girl out there, the girl out there

Pretty smile and a pretty face
I bet you’re pretty good, please come back to my place
You are the girl out there, the girl out there

Open door leading into my room
It is so empty now I want to fill it soon with you
The girl out there, the girl out there

That I want

And as I watch you walk past my window
I see your golden hair fall around your shoulders
When will you smile up at me
And tell me the things I want to hear?

There’s a knock I hear it on the door
It is a lovely sound, I cannot wait for more
You are the girl out there, I hope the girl out there

So I run and fling it open wide
It is the postman standing with a toothless smile
And not the girl out there, the girl out there
That I want

So I sit upon this empty stage
I look into the lights around me all arrayed
You are the girls out there, the girls out there
I can’t see you but I think I want you
If I were Robert Redford, then you’d want me too
You are the girls out there, the girls out there
That I want

You are the girls out there, you are the girls out there
Oh yes the girls out there
That I want

You are the girls out there, you are the girls out there
You are the girls out there
That I want
