That Gal of...

She’s sharp as a tack

She’s smart as a whip on every other Thursday

She’s dresses in black

She called me on the phone while I was on the freeway

Said “Babe, come back”

I said I wish that I could

But traffic’s at a standstill

She said “I need you now”

‘Cause someone’s been using my heart like it’s a landfill

She said “I just don’t know what it is that scares me

All I know is I’m frightened all the time”

Say hey la hey

Everything’s gonna be just fine

Say hey la hey

Oh how I love that gal of mine

She smells like a rose

She’s cute as a button standing like a wilted flower

In second hand clothes

When she ain’t here a minute’s like an hour

Yeah I just froze

The first time that I laid my eyes upon her

Nobody knows

Yeah when she’s with me I consider it an honor

And I don’t really understand why she’s with me

I think she must be out of her mind

Say hey la hey

Standing underneath a weathered street light’s shine

Say hey la hey

Oh how I love that gal of mine

And I don’t think much of myself

I always think that she’s with someone else

But I’m trying to be strong

‘Cause I know with her that I do belong

Woke up today

Thought maybe I was dreaming

‘Cause I was feeling happy

This smile on my face

Sat up and saw my dog curiously looking at me

And if I’m anxious well she knows just how to heal me

And she’s a beauty nobody could define

She say hey la hey

Everything’s gonna be just fine

I say hey la hey

Oh how I love that gal of mine

Singing hey la hey

Through the dark night I can see her shine

I said hey la hey

Oh how I love that gal of mine
