I've never known someone like this

she's got a look I can't resist

I know in just a little while

I'll be the one that makes her smile



Her parents say that I'm no good

I don't come from her neighborhood

before too long they'll see

oh just what she sees in me



but when she holds my hand

I think she understands

she knows it



it's true it might take a little while

i'll be the one that makes her smile



but when she holds my hand

I think she understands

she knows it

she knows all my hopes and dreams

she means everything to me



someday I'm gonna make her see

how good together we can be

it's true it might take a little time

one day I'm gonna make her mine



but when she holds my hand

I think she understands

she knows it
