Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She looks just like them girls in Vogue
I love the way she plays it cool
I think that she is beautiful
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's pretty, a fitty
She's got a boyfriend though and that's a pity
She's flirty, turned thirty
Ain't that the age a girl gets really dirty?
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
How we'll make it through this
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I love the way she bites her lip
I love the way she shakes them hips
I love the way she makes me drool
I think that she is beautiful
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
Well, she's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
She's so lovely
A stunner, I want her
Was she this fit when she was ten years younger?
Come see me discretely
She said she's got a trick or two to teach me
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
How we'll make it through this
I don't know
