it's a small house
she turned it inside out
just by being born beautiful
it's not a big place
but take a look at that face
this doesn't happen every day
wait up, watch out
she's waiting, she's watching
she's got that look on that face of hers
the look you never seem to get on yours
you're not a bad guy
you're just kind of mediocre
but you're gonna show her

it was your big day
she blew it all away
just by being born beautiful
it's not a small town
but it's been holding you down
and nothing's gonna make you stick around
but wake up, c'mon wake up
you're already gone
cos that was 8 or 9 years ago
and nowadays you're just a guy she used to know
and it doesn't matter
if you always loved her
cos it's over - it's over.

stop the rain - start the parade
this doesn't happen every day

(i spent my whole life searching for a girl like you)

it's a small world
she wrecked all the other girls
just by being born
