Reading Her Paper

[Verse 1]
Got on to the bus in my usual
Half-asleep daze
Happened to gaze around
And then I saw her
Sitting there right next to me
I pretended to be

[Chorus]
Reading her paper
Checking out the mornin' news
Catching up on the world

[Post-Chorus]
My, she's a pretty girl
My, she's a pretty girl

[Verse 2]
I thought I'd speak to her
Though I didn't know
Just what to say, think of a way
She's knows you're looking at her
But by then she'd turned to me
Again, I pretended to be

[Chorus]
Reading her paper
Checking out the mornin' news
Catching up on the world

[Post-Chorus]
My, she's a pretty girl
My, she's a pretty girl

[Bridge]
What if she gets off at the next stop
And gets lost in the rush of the crowd?
Why am I scared to show her
That I would like to know her?

[Verse 3]
Now, she's getting up, and I realize
Soon she'll be gone
Could I be wrong?
I think she's smiling at me
Sometime I don't know just when
I know I'll see her again

[Chorus]
Reading her paper
Checking out the mornin' news
Catching up on the world

[Post-Chorus]
My, what a pretty girl
My, she's a pretty girl

[Chorus]
Reading her paper
Checking out the mornin' news
Catching up on the world

[Outro]
