sarah

she’s an island girl in a valley world

n there’s no one here whose hair will curl

the way hers does 

she’ll take no for an answer any day

but a lie she’ll hear mile away

and nothin else that you could say

would hurt her more

n maybe it’s somethin in her tipsy moves

to these california dive bar grooves

but she’ll turn every head in the room

they see her smile and they do too

oh sarah won’t you dance with me

you’ve got good looks and a nice family

and sometimes when i dance with you

i feel like i could have those good things too

and when you take my hand i know i really do

cuz everythin feels right when i’m with you

she’s got her fears, you can’t deny

i remember the first time that she cried

on my shoulder

she said friend i feel all alone

here with you, in bed at home

it’s all the same

and when she broke up with that boy

she really liked from illinois

she asked me what to do

and i said i’m so sorry i don’t know

just know with me you’re not alone

and she hugged me

n maybe it’s somethin in her tipsy moves

to these california dive bar grooves

but she’ll turn every head in the room

they see her smile and they do too

oh sarah won’t you dance with me

you’ve got good looks and a nice family

and sometimes when i dance with you

i feel like i could have those good things too

and when you take my hand i know i really do

cuz everythin feels right when i’m with you

she’s got new york style and grown-up trust

that she won’t break for love or lust

that i know for sure

n when the party lights spin too bright

she pulls me over says ‘you alright?’

n walks me home

n maybe it’s somethin in her tipsy moves

to these california dive bar grooves

but she’ll turn every head in the room

they see her smile and they do too

oh sarah won’t you dance with me

you’ve got good looks and a nice family

and sometimes when i dance with you

i feel like i could have those good things too

and when you take my hand i know i really do

cuz everythin feels right when i’m with you

she’s an island girl in a valley world

n there’s no one here whose hair will curl

the way hers does

she’ll take no for an answer any day

but a lie she’ll hear a mile away

and nothin else that you could say

would make her leave this valley

and go back to her island far away
