Lyrics
Well, it's quarter to four, we're hanging out at the pizza place
Describing the setting at a pizza place, getting ready to surf.
And we've all got our boards, later on we're gonna catch the waves
Everyone has surfboards, planning to ride the waves later.
Well, that's what I said when I left her in bed
Left someone in bed with the radio and a book, hinting at a romantic encounter.
With the radio on and the book she read
Suggesting a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
Well, let the truth be known, I just wanna date a surfer babe
Expressing a desire to date a surfer babe.
I hope I'm not a little too late
Expressing uncertainty about the timing.
I never know what you're gonna say
Uncertainty about the other person's response.
You don't think you're my type
Addressing a potential misconception about the speaker's type.
But you are, but you are, but you are, but you are
Reaffirming the attraction despite perceived differences.
You know I just don't know how I'm gonna get through this thing
Expressing difficulty in dealing with feelings for the person.
That I've been feeling for you
Confirming strong emotions towards the person.
Don't think I know your name
Acknowledging uncertainty about the person's name.
But I do, but I do, but I do, you're a surfer babe
Reiterating the attraction to a surfer babe.
You know it's hard when things never seem to wanna go your way
Highlighting the challenges in life.
But I go this feeling that it's not gonna happen today
Feeling optimistic that things will change.
You know I've look all around for a girl in L.A.
Searching for a special someone in Los Angeles.
And you're the prettiest face that has walked my way
Complimenting the person's appearance.
Since I met you girl, I just wanna date a surfer babe
Expressing a desire to date the surfer babe.
I hope I'm not a little too late
Reiterating uncertainty about timing.
I never know what you're gonna say
Uncertain about the other person's response.
You don't think that you're my type
Addressing a potential misconception about the speaker's type.
But you are, but you are, but you are, but you are
Reaffirming the attraction despite perceived differences.
You know I just don't know how I'm gonna get through this thing
Expressing difficulty in dealing with feelings for the person.
That I've been feeling for you
Confirming strong emotions towards the person.
Don't think I know your name
Acknowledging uncertainty about the person's name.
But I do, but I do, but I do, you're a surfer babe
Reiterating the attraction to a surfer babe.
And I've been waiting for a girl like you
Expressing anticipation and eagerness for a special person.
Anticipating how to make my move
Planning the approach to make a move.
Because there is nothing I would rather do
Stating a preference for spending time with the person.
Than catch the waves with you
Desiring to surf together with the person.
I want a surfer babe
Reiterating the desire for a surfer babe.
I hope I'm not a little too late
Reiterating uncertainty about timing.
I never know what you're gonna say
