Beat Happening - That Girl Lyrics

There's a new girl in this town
She's been a lot of places
Worn a lot of crowns
I want to touch that hair
And tell her she is fine
I want to hold her hand
And ask her to be mine

There's a misfit in this town
All the other kids said
We don't like your frown
You're not allowed to play
In anymore reindeer games
So we spent a lot of time
Walking in the rain

Then the new girl walked around
A lot of boys liked her
It was a lot of boys I drowned
To get a girl like that
They've got to cross the sea
And, when the waters part
There's only gonna be me

Then the new girl was on trial
All the other girls said
"We don't like your style"
All the boys are thinking
Pull the sword out from the stone
Outside all this big talk
I was left standing alone


Then the new girl spun around
Put her hands on hips
And let her hair fall down
She turned and gave those boys
The evil eye
Then I realized
They're all too scared to turn

There's a new girl in this town
She's been a lot of places
Worn a lot of crowns
I'm gonna touch that hair
And tell her she is fine
I'm gonna hold her hand
And ask her to be mine

There's a new girl
