pretty girl from across the pond
looking for a prairie boy on a farm
with a pet duck in a pickup truck
who says stuff he means so much
boy I might be close enough for you

I bet you're the only ivy leaguer
that doesn't mind the mosquiters
go on a long long walk
you'll bring a compass and a watch
bottle of water with a water cup 
that's you

it's you, it's you
the only one I want to know is you, is you
I can only hope that it is you

I like to forget the world is blowing up
everything will be okay
I like the thought of you and me on a rainy day
lost in our own little world
and will you stay is the question that I ask
I want to know you really well

time with you is a sample
for what could be, I can't tell
but you say you might be moving away

now I may not be an engineer
but the problem here is perfectly clear
I don't play the 'violeen'
but without a stroke how will it sing
I just know I wanna be with you

help me forget the world is blowing up
everything will be okay
I like the thought of you and me on a rainy day
lost in our own little world
and will you stay is the question that I ask
I want to know you really well

when we play and you smile
I can't help but smile back
is that just your style
or is it a special thing I have with you

I hope it's you, it's you
the only one I want to know is you, is you
and I can only hope that it is you

help me forget the world is blowing up
everything will be okay
I like the thought of you and me on a rainy day
lost in our own little world
and will you stay is the question that I ask

I want to know you really well
I want to know you really well
I want to know you really well
I want to know you, pretty girl
