Reading Her Paper

(album: Red Rubber Ball (A Collection) - 1991)

Got on to the bus, in my usual
Half asleep daze
Happened to gaze around
And then I saw her
Sitting there right next to me
I pretended to be

Reading her paper
Checking out the morning news
Catching up on the world

My, she's a pretty girl
My, she's a pretty girl

I thought I'd speak to her
Though I couldn't know
Just what to say
Think of way
She's knows your looking at her
But by then she'd turned to me
Again I pretended to be

Reading her paper
Checking out the morning news
Catching up on the world

My, she's a pretty girl
My, she's a pretty girl

What if she gets off, at the next stop
And gets lost in the rush of the crowd
Why am I, scared to show her
That I, would like to know her

Now she's getting up
And I realise
Soon she'll be gone
Could I be wrong
I think she's smiling at me
Sometime I don't know just when
I know I'll see her again

Reading her paper
Checking out the morning news
Catching up on the world

My, what a pretty girl
My, she's a pretty girl

Reading her paper
Checking out the morning news
Catching up on the world

Reading her paper
Checking out the morning news
