about

Just a fun song about a gal who is a little "off"

lyrics

I first saw her down at the mall
dressed up like Annie Hall
She talking to the pigeons
She asked me if my name was Paul
I said "no, not at all"
then she asked me my religion

her eyes were a pure emerald green
she had a perfect white smile
the cutest face that I had ever seen
she looked so free and so wild

she skipped around my chair
ran her fingers through my hair
but i didn't even care

She's quirky
she's one of a kind, you would have to be blind,
for a person not to notice

She's quirky
she means me no harm, and she does have her charms,
her love is quite ferocious

She had me back to her flat
quicker than no time flat
it looked like she's lived in the circus
she gave me a tin foil hat
gave my cheek quick pat
I started thinking "was she worth this?"

Then she put on a ringmaster coat
a spotlight came down from the ceiling
she said "i'm the lion tamer and you're my goat"
she cracked her whip and my head was reeling

when she said "let's have some fun"
I knew my goose was done.
no place to hide nowhere to run,

She's quirky
she's out of her skull, but she's never dull
as you can tell from her attire

She's quirky
look closely and you will find that she's out of her mind,
she set my brand new car afire

You say I'm crazy but I finally see
i think she's amazing 'cause she's just like me.

Yeah, she's just like me

so she's off center just a tad
says that i look just like her dad
well i swear its not so bad

She's quirky
she's one of a kind, you'd have to be blind,
for a person not to notice

She's quirky
she means me no harm, and she does have her charms,
her love is quite ferocious

She's quirky
she's out of her skull, but she's never dull
as you can tell from her attire

She's quirky
look closely and you will find that she's out of her mind,
she set my brand new car afire
