Hello there Texas what you say
I'd like to bend your ear if you're going my way
Okay Glenn what's worrying you
Tell me the story & I'll see what I can do
Well, I got a new gal that's a real killer diller
But I'm not so sure that she goes with Mr. Miller
Hm, that's nothing to worry about
Man don't you know how to go about finding out
No, you tell me, Texas

If there's a gleam in her eye
Each time she straightens your tie
You'll know the lady's in love with you;
If she can dress for a date
Without that waitin' you hate,
It means the lady's in love with you.
And when your friends ask you over to join their table,
But she begs a far-away booth for two,
Well, sir, here's just how it stands:
You've got romance on your hands,
Because the lady's in love with you
