Lyrics

Watch out what you say in my way

Be cautious about what you say in my presence

I'm gonna get that girl

I am determined to pursue and win the affection of a particular girl

Wait and see

Expressing confidence in the eventual success of the pursuit

I saw her today

I saw the girl today

She came by my way

She passed by where I was

I'm gonna win her love

Expressing determination to win her love

Just for me

Emphasizing the desire for a relationship exclusively with him

And together we'll go walking

Envisioning a future where they walk together

In the evening still be talking

Anticipating ongoing conversations during their time together

She's the kind of girl you never hardly see

Describing the girl as rare or unique

Have you seen her eyes

Asking if others have noticed the captivating eyes of the girl

Do you realize

Prompting awareness of the depth of emotion in such a love

How much a love like that can mean to me

Expressing the personal significance of a love like hers

I know she knows me

Acknowledging that the girl is aware of him

Today I could see

Confirming the awareness through recent observations

The way she her head when she walked by

Noticing subtle cues in her body language

And before the night is over

Expressing the intention to express love before the night ends

I think I'm gonna love her

Anticipating falling in love with her during the night

And if it lasts forever I don't care

Indifferent to the duration of the love, as long as it happens

And now she is mine

Announcing the successful attainment of her affection

I told you all the time

Reiterating the prior confidence in winning her

How could I let a girl like that go by

Expressing disbelief in letting a desirable girl pass by

And before the night is over

Reiterating the intention to express love before the night ends

I think I'm gonna love her

Anticipating falling in love with her during the night, again

And if it lasts forever I don't care

Reiterating indifference to the duration of the love
