words & music by jason mraz Once there was a girl that came from not too far from here And she wasn't satisfied at the rate that she applied herself To the items on the shelf, she was a retail girl And that really has to do with nothing though she gave me something A smile I'll rely on for a lifetime I'd try on for awhile So now why is she getting married on the 25th of april She believes in higher energy and better things for all the people She is a charm of good luck when she's sitting by your side But I think my luck run out on april twenty five Oh love, oh love is all I'm looking for Sitting in the corner in the dark Hoping that she'd eye me, I'm looking right her way But I'd never find the right thing to say I'd never find the right kind of phrase There was a secret somebody Of course I never get the upper hand Those kinds of rare finds are all born with a man I just don't understand how they can Oh love, oh love is all I'm looking for Sitting in the corner in the dark and on the floor Hoping that she'd spy on me, I'm looking right her way I'd never find the right kind of phrase The right kind, the right line, or the right time to say almost anything that's right the right kind of phrase I'd never find the right thing to say LyricsKeeper
