One, two Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo huh Yeah I know who you remind me of A girl I think I used to know Yeah I'd see her when the days got colder On those days when it felt like snow You know I even think that she stared like you She used to just stand there and stare And roll her eyes right up to heaven And make like I just wasn't there And she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But never even caught her name And sometimes we would spend the night Just rolling about on the floor (just rolling about on the floor) And I remember even though it felt soft at the time I always used to wake up sore You know I even think that she smiled like you She used to just stand there and smile And her eyes would go all sorts of far away And stay like that for quite a while And I remember she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But never even caught her name Yes, I sometimes even tried to catch her But never even caught her name
