Lyrics

I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Yes, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Well I thought I knew all about everything
But I'm in love with a beautiful girl

And she's staring through a crack in the sky
Yes, she's staring through a crack in the sky
Well I thought I knew all about everything
But I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Well I thought I knew all about everything
But I was wrong

Well I thought I knew all about everything
I thought I knew all about everything
But I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Yes, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Oh, I thought I knew all about everything
But I'm in love with a beautiful girl

She's in love with a wonderful guy
Yes, she's in love with a wonderful guy
Well I hope she's in love with whom I think she's in love
I'm in love with a beautiful girl

I'm a charming and dangerous guy
Yes, I'm a charming and dangerous guy
If you don't expect too much it's alright
I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Yes, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Well I thought I knew all about everything
But I'm in love with a beautiful girl

And we're going through a hole in the sky
Yeah, we're going through a hole in the sky
We'll be up there for the longest while
'Cause I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Yes, I'm in love with a beautiful girl

Well I thought I knew all about everything
But I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Yes, I'm in love with a beautiful girl
Well I thought I knew all about everything
But I'm in love with a beautiful girl
