LYRICS
Well, I’ve seen you
In my neighborhood
You moved in all alone
Quiet as you could
And when ya get offa work
You walk straight home
You pass my stand in your uniform
It’s a little blue dress
Ya got a real long stride
Baby, you’re all lit up
With the sinkin’ sun in your eyes
You’ve become my favorite part of the day
I’m waiting on five o’clock
When you’re headed my way, oh dear
Can I catch your eye?
Won’t you look my way there, sweet thing?
Ya always pass me by
I freeze up, listen to my heart sing
“Don’t just stand there!”
But I’m always just standing there
And I know what I have to do
Today’ll be the day
I’ll be stepping up to talk to you
Here she comes, here she comes
Slow down, you’re too fast
Ain’t ya looking for any fun?
Please just a minute I have to ask
I never see you with anyone
Don’t you get a little bit lonely?
Are ya bitter girl...
Have you met too many phonies?
I bet you think I’m just another crocodile
But I can’t help it, I can’t help my smile for you
Won’t you take a chance?
Can’t ya feel the time a wastin’?
I’ll take you out to dance
A jumpin’ band plays the Graceland
Don’t think twice
I’ll pick you up at nine tonight
And we’ll go straight downtown
Rip it up, baby
We’ll be walkin’ with our feet off the ground
There she goes, maybe tomorrow
Hey, hey, people can’t ya hear me say?
I go crazy when she’s headed my way
Hey, hey, people can’t ya hear me say?
I go crazy when she’s headed my way, yeah
She’s headed my way, yeah
She’s headed my way
She’s headed my way, yeah
She’s headed my way, yeah, yeah
