Lyrics
I see you every day
I observe you on a daily basis
Walking down the avenue
You are walking down the street
I'd like to get to know you
I wish to become acquainted with you
But all I do is smile at you
My interaction is limited to smiling at you
Oh baby when it comes to talking
Expressing difficulty in initiating conversation
My tongue get so thight
Feeling nervous or anxious when trying to talk
This sidewalk love affair
Describing a secret romantic connection
Has got me high as a kite
Feeling euphoric and excited in this clandestine affair
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
Expressing a mysterious attraction to the person
Well I'm a slow walker
Self-acknowledgment of being a slow walker
But girl I'd race a mile for you
Expressing willingness to go the extra mile for the person
Just to get back in time
Willingness to hurry for a planned meeting
For my peek-a-boo rendezvous
Reference to a playful and secretive encounter
Well baby maby it's the way
Suggesting an appreciation for the person's style
You wear you're blue jeans so tight
Specifically praising the tightness of blue jeans
I can't put my finger
Unable to identify what exactly makes the person attractive
On what you're doing right
Expressing admiration despite uncertainty
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
Reiterating a mysterious and appealing quality
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
Continuation of expressing fascination
Well I'm standing on a corner
Positioned in a location, likely waiting or anticipating
Smiling by a telephone
Smiling near a telephone, indicating a hopeful mood
I'd like to check you over
Expressing a desire to examine and understand the person thoroughly
Get to know you with a fine tooth comb
Using a metaphorical "fine tooth comb" to emphasize scrutiny
Oh baby when I get home, I turn out the light
Anticipating the person's presence in dreams
And then you come a strolling through
Imagining the person appearing in dreams consistently
My dreams every night
Highlighting the person's impact on nightly thoughts
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
Reaffirmation of the mysterious and appealing quality
Yeah yeah, there's something 'bout you baby I like
Continued expression of fascination
