There is somewhere, someplace
In this world I want to take you
Look out little girl, little girl

I am one boy, one boy in a thousand
That wants to make you
Look out little girl, little girl, little girl look out

If you’re hiding and I’m hiding
From some bum that wants to get you
Look out little girl, little girl

If you’re lonely and I’m lonely
And I’m near you I can hear you
Look out little girl, little girl, little girl look out

Sea over yonder when the rights are read your name-ah
You search for the riddle to the clue the river she came
Look out on the land to the south
To the east three said-ah
Cancel Colorado in the march
By request
Don’t go on the look out of a whim
Aye she said
