Words and Music by Matt Hanley
Listen
Lyrics
Watch her paint nails
Toes on the park bench
Cotton swabs resemble the daytime clouds
She seems serene
Not yapping to tele
That towel is the opposite of loud
Find myself there
Introduce myself
A minute passes
Does she know I’m around
Red-framed shades
Ebony pigtails
Gosh I have to know how this girl sounds
Roger, my name is Alice
I’m visiting my uncle and aunt
I wanted to go to the lake today
But my cousin says I can’t
I take that in
Formulate reply
Say the wrong thing, girls make like a clam
I say the lake blows
Talk up the river
Gosh those legs could start a traffic jam
Would it go on?
Avoid an impasse
I ask not where she’s from but what’s in her ears
Dimples open.
Removes sunglasses
Says Tame Impala would I like to hear
Alice it’s so nice to talk to you
Can i take you to a show
Instead of directly answering
She took my number would let me know
As I hop home
I bring along regret
Haven’t made further talking a sure thing
I do push-ups
I make some coffee
Emptying back pocket it starts to ring
She shares facts
Gives her opinion
About style, books, teaching our kids karate
I met a girl and she won’t stop talking to me
I met a girl and she won’t stop talking to me
I met a girl and she won’t stop talking to me
I met a girl she won’t stop she won’t stop
I met a girl and she won’t stop talking to me
