girl downtown

there's a girl downtown with freckles on her nose

pencils in her pocket and ketchup on her clothes

she's a real nice girl

pretty as a plate

the boys call her katie when they ask her on a date

and who knows katie? maybe you could be the one

there's a boy outside standin in the rain

his hands are in his pockets hes a wonderin' why he came

hes a real nice boy

slower than the fall

the girls call him billy if they're callin' him at all

and who knows billy? maybe you could be the one

but hearts don't fly and words don't sing

boys like you can't buy no ring

loves not stuck it just moves slow

turn around a minute and away we go

billy walked inside

ordered up a drink

he started gettin' nervous and a wonderin' what shed think

she thought he looked nice

rough around the seams

just the kind of boy who could listen to her dreams

and who knows katie? maybe he could be the one

well

they stepped outside

and took a little walk

katie held his hand and billy even talked

they sat by the pond

they didn't make a sound

the night fell easy as the moon came down

and who knows baby? maybe we could be the one

there's a girl downtown with freckles on her nose

pencils in her pocket and ketchup on her clothes

she's a real nice girl

pretty as a plate

the boys call her katie when they ask her on a date

and who knows katie? maybe you could be the one

who knows katie? maybe you could be the one

who knows baby? maybe we could be the one
