Claudine Longet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could I get you to give me a try?
You know a boy like you is not
So easy to find
I'd like to make you all mine
Would you like to take a walk in the park?
Stroll hand in hand 'til itBegins to get dark
Then later in the evening when
The sun has gone down
Maybe you'll still be around
To keep me company
Can't you see that's the way it should be?
I sit and wonder as I watch you pass by
How could I get you to give me a try?
You know a boy like you is
Not so easy to find
I'd like to make you all mine
Hello, my name is Claudine what's yours?
Harold harold it's very noisy here
Do you want to take a walk in the park?
To keep me company
Can't you see that's the way it should be?
I sit and wonder as I watch you pass by
How could I get you to give me a try?
You know a boy like you is
Not so easy to find
I'd like to make you all mine
I'd like to make you all mine
I'd like to make you all mine
