Hey, girl, what's your name, girl
I've been looking at you, 
And every guy here's doing the same, girl
It'd be a shame, girl
If I let you just walk on by

'Cause I'm all caught up in your sweet smile
A girl like you comes around every once in awhile
So hot, gotta give it a shot
Gotta get, get a little of what you've got

I know you don't know me
But I can't leave here lonely
Knowing I didn't even try to make you mine
And you might think I'm crazy, girl
But who could blame me
You're looking so fine, got me all tongue tied
And the only line I can think to say is

Hey, girl, whatcha think, girl
You look a little thirsty
Let me go get you something to drink, girl
Before you blink, girl 
I'll be right back by your side

And if you want, we can roll out
I know my way around this town
I got a shotgun seat for you
You can tell me where it is you want to take off to

I know you don't know me
But I can't leave here lonely
Knowing I didn't even try to make you mine
And you might think I'm crazy, girl
But who could blame me
You're looking so fine, got me all tongue tied
And the only line I can think to say is, "Hey, girl"

Hey, hey!

Oh, baby, you're still standing here
I guess you must like what you hear
Hey, girl, whatcha say, girl
About you and me getting away, girl

I know you don't know me
But I can't leave here lonely
Knowing I didn't even try to make you mine
And you might think I'm crazy, girl
But who could blame me
You're looking so fine, got me all tongue tied
And the only line I can think to say is, "Hey, girl"

Oh, yeah, whoa, hey, girl

You're looking so fine, got me all tongue tied
And the only line I can think to say is

Hey, girl, oh, yeah
