 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 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, so he begged her just to listen
to what he had to say, he said that beauty is only skin deep.
It's what's inside that counts, she said "alright" 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..."
