Lyrics:

I've been standing on the corner all day

Tryin' to think of little things to say

'Cause she walks by ev'ry day about this time

And I don't think, I'll ever get her off of my mind.

Well I only met her 'bout a week ago

But the way she smiles let me know

That she could see that maybe we were two of a kind.

And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind.

Oh she's so pretty I couldn't believe

She'd ever look my way

But the way I'm feeling

I'm gonna be stealing

That little girl's heart today.

Well, I'm so happy I could almost fly

And I guess you know the reason why,

I'm walkin' down the street with her little hand in mine.

And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind.

Oh she's so pretty I couldn't believe

She'd ever look my way

ut the way I'm feeling

I'm gonna be stealing

That little girl's heart today.

Well, I'm so happy I could almost fly

And I guess you know the reason why,

'm walkin' down the street with her little hand in mine.

And I don't think I'll ever get her off of my mind.
