  • You are the girl that I've been dreaming of
    Ever since I was a little girl
    You are the girl that I've been dreaming of
    Ever since I was a little (ever) girl (since)

    One, I'm biting my tongue
    Two, he's kissin' on you
    Three, oh, why can't you see?
    One, two, three, four

    The word's on the streets and it's on the news
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
    He's got two left feet and he bites my moves
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
    The second I do, I know we're gonna be through
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
    He don't suspect a thing, I wish he'd get a clue
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance

    You are the girl that I've been dreaming of
    Ever since I was a little girl
    You are the girl that I've been dreaming of
    Ever since I was a little girl (ever since)

    One, I'm biting my tongue
    Two, he's kissin' on you
    Three, oh, why can't you see?
    One, two, three, four

    The word's on the streets and it's on the news
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
    He's got two left feet and he bites my moves
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
    The second I do, I know we're gonna be through
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
    He don't suspect a thing, I wish he'd get a clue
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance (uh-oh)

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    One, you're biting my tongue
    Two, I'm kissin' on you
    Three, is he better than me?
    One, two, three, four

    The word's on the streets and it's on the news
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance with you
    He's got two left feet and he bites my moves
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance (oh)

    Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
    Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
    Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do
    I'm not gonna teach him how to dance, dance, dance, dance
    Do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do

  • Vimal from New York, NyWhat's up with the line "You are the girl that I've been dreaming of ever since I was a little girl." Is it because the girl makes him emotional and thus, disparagingly "a little girl"?
