Lyrics
Each time I see this girl,
I fall in love again
I try to keep my cool,
I even count to ten
There's no hope for the hep cat,
don't even know her name
Given' it my best shot,
alway come up lame
CHORUS
It's her style, looks so cool every night
Drive me wild, I want to hold her so tight
It's her style, when she moves she'll ignite
My lovin' heart will never be the same
I see her on the dance floor,
I see her with her friends
I see her in my dreams at night,
down to the bitter end
Why can't I just go meet her,
take her for a ride
Tell her that she's looking good,
and sit right by her side
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna sit right down
and write her a letter
When that don't work
I'll think of something better
My lovin' heart will never be the same
SOLO
BRIDGE
I'm taking her home,
in my old Ford
I'll count my lucky stars,
I'll pray to the Lord, oh lordy!
Soon enough I'll wake up
from the fantasy
This dream will not be over
'til it 'comes reality
CHORUS
