See her walking down the street, look the other way
Just a brown-eyed girl who's walking away from me
Who will ask her how she feels, she never talks to me
She doesn't know who I am
And if she did she wouldn't like me
But I see her lips moving up and down, she doesn't say a word
All she ever says to me is
Sha la la la ....
See her walking down the street, look the other way
Just a brown-eyed girl who's way outa my league
I hear she's got a place down on Arcadia Street
Next to a park, so she likes living next to trees
And if you wanna go out
If you wanna go dancing, if you wanna get away
We want the same thing, you and me baby
And as I always say, Mrs Richards please
I want that house that she's been living in
And I don't know what I want anymore
I don't know what I need
And you woke me up in the middle of a dream
Well, Joe comes around and says, "Car troubles, man
And if it goes on like this we'll be stuck here for the next year or two
But let's get a lift into town, let's go to Galleria
Let's get a bottle of whiskey I got some dying to do
Where'd that girl go now, where'd she run off to?
I had her number, we could've had something really good
Soon as you love something, it goes and dies on you
And every silver lining has a cloud that wants to rain down on you
And as I always say, Mrs Richards please
I want that house that she's been living in
And I don't know what I want anymore
I don't know what I need
And you woke me up in the middle of a dream
How about that hole in the wall
And if we live like this there'll be nothing left for us
For me and you
What if the sky falls, what if we see it coming?
Give me a cigarette baby, I wanna die for you
And as I always say, Mrs Richards please
I want that house that she's been living in
And I don't know what I want anymore
I don't know what I need
And you woke me up in the middle of a dream
