I'm gonna tell you a story now About a girl from Pretoria, Her eyes as green as the forests there, Her hair as wild as a grizzly bear, She dreams of being a superstar And reads erotic literature, And yes, I fell in love with her, But it seems there is one obstacle... And I don't know what to do about it, I really have no clue about it, And I don't know what to do about it, I really have no clue about it... So we're hanging out a little bit, It seems we are the perfect fit, She says she even likes Roxette, I've fallen in the love pit, Her heart is a wild horse running free, Her mind is a magic mystery, Her body's an altar I worship, Her soul is a magic swirling ship... And I don't know what to do about it, I really have no clue about it, And I don't know what to do about it, I really have no clue about it... So about this girl I've fantasized, I guess by now you've realized, She's taken by another man, This really is a problem... Hmmmm.... And I don't know what to do about it, I really have no clue about it, And I don't know what to do about it, I really have no clue about it... But God I'd wait ten thousand years, To run my fingers through her hair, To whisper nothings in her her ear, To take my place right next to her... And I'm hoping soon as I look back over my shoulder Girl we'll have made a dream that wasn't in our folders And I'm hoping soon as we look back over our shoulders Girl we'll have made a dream that wasn't in our folders.
