The boats are bobbing on Rushcutters Bay

The joggers are jogging their lives away

My knees give out before I run a quarter K

I'm not an athletic girl



The Sydney sun is heating up the ground

The cricket batsman hits the ball then he runs around

I can't believe it's November, I'm upside down

The other side of the world



But I still dream about him every night

I still dream about him every night

He comes to me when I turn out the light

I still dream about him



Austrailian boys know how to toss back a beer

The Aussie girls all want to get away from here

It's a universal problem, so far and so near

I see it everywhere I go



It's a battle of the sexes, it's a battle of wills

It's a push, it's a pull, it's a bittersweet pill

Ten thousand miles away and my heart beats still

For a man I may never know



But I still dream about him every night

I still dream about him every night

He comes to me when I turn out the light

I still dream about him



Crossing the street gives me a terrible fright

I look right, I look left, I look left, I look right

It's a mirror image, it's day for night

I hesitate, I run



I am a constant stranger, I'm a long lost-friend

Remind me of your name should we meet again

In a darkened alley up around the bend

Or in the Sydney sun.



And I still dream about him every night

I still dream about him every night

He comes to me when I turn out the light

I still dream about him



The boats are bobbing on Rushcutters Bay

The joggers are jogging their lives away

My knees give out, I can't run a quarter K

I'm still not an athletic girl
