[Intro]
[Verse 1]:
I choose my fr

And I'm up on

they're all do

With their gov

and my I.

Louise is a gi
rl, I know her
well
She's up on th
e pavement, ye

ther girl
And I'm stayin
g up here, so
I may be und
one
She's inapprop

ore fun and
[Chorus]:
When she smi
les my way
My eyes go out
in vain
She's got perf
ect skin

[Verse 5]:
She takes me d
own to the bas
ement to look
at her slides
Of her family
life, pretty w

At the age of
ten she looked
like Greta Ga

And I loved he

w was she to k
now that
[Chorus]:
When she smi

My eyes go out

[Verse 6]:
Up eight fligh
ts of stairs t
o her basement
flat
Pretty confuse
d huh, being s
hipped around
like that
Seems we climb
ed so high, no

o low
Strikes me the
moral of this
song must be
there never ha
s been one!
