I've been sitting waiting for my girl to pass on by
She doesn't know i love that starlight look that's in her eye
Sometimes she doesn't notice me, as she goes on her way
But i know that in my heart she's gonna be with me some day
You know i've got this notion everything will turn out right
We will be together and the future will be bright
When she goes through college gets a job and moves away
I'll be right beside her at the end of every day
She's got those worried faraway thoughts on her mind again
Imagining her life ahead then slowly vanishing
She says she has to hurry and brushes by my face
I breathe the air she leaves behind
My heart begins to pound and race
She...likes to keep me hanging on
Wondering what i've done wrong to make her wild again
I...realise She's highly strung
But i know she is the one to light my fire again
It gets real complicated when i try to figure why
I could never leave her if i did i'd surely die
To me she's fascinating drop dead sexy and complex
I break into a cold sweat thinking 'bout her warm caress
She's got those worried faraway thoughts on her mind again
Imagining her life ahead then slowly vanishing
She says she has to hurry and brushes by my face
I breathe the air she leaves behind
My heart begins to pound and race
She...likes to keep me hanging on
Wondering what i've done wrong to make her wild again
I...realise She's highly strung
But i know she is the one to light my fire again
