I know a girl she's blonde and free Turns 21 on new years eve Everytime i see her she clings to me Cause thats what young girls do Shes fire on her own she knows me well Never gets mad at the storys i tell Shes an old soul living in a cheap motel Travelin to by sea I been up and i been down And i been away and i been around And i been mopin all around this town Waiting for loretta too long Well i knew a girl I knew her family too And theyd all try to skin me if they only knew But it only happened for a time or two I couldn't hold her all through the storm Well shes a comfort in the rain Shes a walk in the park Shes cold in the day Cool when its dark And i came outside and she was standing on my car She don't like it when i tell her no Well i been up and i been down I been away and i been around And i been mopin all around this Waitin for loretta too long Well i met a girl she liked the way i smelled Thought it was a little bit weird but i thought what the hell So we road all around til the morning fell I liked her freckles in the sunrise So i saw her again but it wasn't too long Before she asked me to sing her a loretta song And thats about the time everything went wrong I never saw or heard from her again Cause she knew better than that And she knew better than me And she could see all the things i couldn't yet see And she told me id get it eventually I'm still looking i guess So i been up and i been down And i been away and i been around And i been mopin all around this town Waiting for loretta too long
