Paroles: Gaelic Storm. Slim Jim and the Seven Eleven Girl.

Ho...

He saw her every day, she was working at the 7/11
He would buy two hotdogs or some nachos
Or a Slim-Jim just so that he could see her pretty face
Then he got up the nerve to ask her out one day
And she replied, flat out, "No chance. no way."
But in his mind this is what he heard her say

Will you meet me on the corner?
I'll be wearing something pretty just for you
You can hold my hand, kiss my cheek
We'll be together forever
You may be the very best thing that's ever happened to me

Well, she must have forgotten or her dog got sick
Or something like that cause he waited on the corner, hour after hour
Then he went back to his flat by himself and watched TV
But the very next day he tried again
And she replied, "Not if every other man on this earth were dead."
But I swear, this is what he thought she said

Will you meet me on the corner?
I'll be wearing something pretty just for you
You can hold my hand, kiss my cheek
We'll be together forever
You may be the very best thing that's ever happened to me

(Here we go)

Well, he could not help himself, he begged her just to listen
To what he had to say, he said, "Beauty is only skin deep
It's what's inside that counts." She said, "Okay"
So he told her all about how he likes to take long walks in the park
Sunsets, riding motorcycles, watching foreign movies
Reading books about lands that are far, far away
And how one day he's gonna travel around the world
Singing songs about people and places
Then finally, she said the words that he heard in his head
She said, "Okay, shut up

I will you meet you on the corner
I'll be wearing something pretty just for you
You can hold my hand, kiss my cheek
We'll be together forever
You may be the very best thing that's ever happened to me."
Best thing that's happened to me
Best thing that's happened to me
(Here we go)
