gonna tell you all a story

about a girl who's just informed me

that all she needs to love me

is a quiet peaceful day



she don't need no shiny diamonds

or a fancy car to drive in

she just needs me there beside her

on a quiet peaceful day



she loves me better than you

and i'm dying to tell all the world

she loves me better than you

and i'm going to tell all the world



gonna tell you all a story

about a girl who's just informed me

that she's leaving me this morning

it's a quiet peaceful day



she'll be leaving with her new boy

wearing brand new shiny diamonds

they'll drive off into the sunrise

in a new mercedes-benz



did i tell you all a story

about a boy who's feeling lonely

always dreaming up these stories

on a quiet peaceful day
