Beautiful Girl
Spacehog Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sixteen or seventeen, that's all I think you were
Fly by me one more time, I wonder who you are
The most beautiful girl in the world
I won't make promises I know I cannot keep
You'll be my sweet thing and I'll worship at your feet
The most beautiful girl in the world
So call me back one more time and nail me to your bed
Well, I'll pull my weight and wear a Monet on my head
The most beautiful girl in the world
