He saw her every day
She was working at the 7-Eleven,
He would buy two hot dogs
Or some nachos or a «Slim Jim»
Just so that he could see her pretty face
Then he got up the nerve
To ask her out one day
And she replied flat out: «No chance, no way»
But in his mind this is what he heard her say
Will you meet me on the corner
I'll be wearing something pretty
Just for you, you can hold my hand,
Kiss my cheek; we'll be
Together forever
You may be the very best
Thing that ever happened to me
Well she must have forgotten
Or a dog got sick or something like that
'cause he waited on that corner, hour after hour
Then he went back to his flat by himself
And watched TV
But the very next day he tried again,
And she replied:
«Not if every other man on this Earth
Were dead» but I swear
This is what he thought she said
Will you meet me on the corner
I'll be wearing something pretty
Just for you, you can hold my hand,
Kiss my cheek; we'll be
Together forever
You may be the very best
Thing that ever happened to me
Well, he could not help himself,
He begged her just to listen to
What he had to say, he said:
«Beauty is only skin»
Deep it's what's inside that counts,
She said «OK»
So he told her all about
How he likes to take long walks
In the park, sunsets, riding motorcycles, watching
Foreign movies, reading books about
Lands that are far far
Away, and how one day he's gonna
Travel round the world
Singing songs about people
And places and finally
She said the words that he heard in his head,
She said: «Okay, shut up!
I will you meet you on the corner
I'll be wearing something pretty
Just for you, you can hold my hand,
Kiss my cheek; we'll be
Together forever
You may be the very best
Thing that ever happened to me!»
Best thing that's happened to me!
Best thing that's happened to me!
