See her walking down the street, look the other way

Just a brown-eyed girl who´s walking away from me

Who will ask her how she feels, she never talks to me

She doesn´t know who I am

And if she did she wouldn´t like me

But I see her lips moving up and down, she doesn´t say a word

All she ever says to me is



Sha la la la ....



See her walking down the street, look the other way

Just a brown-eyed girl who´s way outa my league

I hear she´s got a place down on Arcadia Street

Next to a park, so she likes living next to trees

And if you wanna go out

If you wanna go dancing, if you wanna get away

We want the same thing, you and me baby



And as I always say, Mrs Richards please

I want that house that she´s been living in

And I don´t know what I want anymore

I don´t know what I need

And you woke me up in the middle of a dream



Well, Joe comes around and says, "Car troubles, man

And if it goes on like this we´ll be stuck here for the next year or two

But let´s get a lift into town, let´s go to Galleria

Let´s get a bottle of whiskey I got some dying to do

Where´d that girl go now, where´d she run off to?

I had her number, we could´ve had something really good

Soon as you love something, it goes and dies on you

And every silver lining has a cloud that wants to rain down on you



And as I always say, Mrs Richards please

I want that house that she´s been living in

And I don´t know what I want anymore

I don´t know what I need

And you woke me up in the middle of a dream



How about that hole in the wall

And if we live like this there´ll be nothing left for us

For me and you

What if the sky falls, what if we see it coming?

Give me a cigarette baby, I wanna die for you



And as I always say, Mrs Richards please

I want that house that she´s been living in

And I don´t know what I want anymore

I don´t know what I need

And you woke me up in the middle of a dream
