lyrics

What makes you think that you’re something so special
You thin you’ll sweep her off her feet
And you’ll tell her this is love, and this and that
You’ll say I’ll show you love, Come on
What do you know about that

You built the courage to tell her that you need her
Darling smiles and she turns away but you say she’s the one and this and that
You say I know she’s the one, ya she’s the one that’s gonna break your little heart

Santa Maria lady you’re my sweet sunshine
Graceful graceful lady say that you’ll be mine
I’m the type of guy that never needed nobody by my side
And then this little princess just walks into my life
And suddenly I can’t go on like this
But truthfully she doesn’t want your kisses anyway

O wounded soldier you’re hanging by a thread
Trying to read into her like a book to be read and hope she thinks of you
As she holds his hands
You hope she dreams of you when she lays down her head

Would you look at how she shines
That girl is like perfect gold
But she won’t shine on me and it’s very very cold
