Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide anything
I saw you breathing
And I saw you staring out in space
[Verse 2]
I next saw you
It was at a party
Thought you was uncool
Oh, so floaty
I came again
[Verse 3]
You didn't say excuse
Knew what I was doin'
You looked very fine
As we were leaving
[Verse 4]
That's Saint Joan
Doin' a cool, cool joke
Oh, I want you
Oh, I want you
Like a kangaroo
