[Verse]
There's a Dgirl downtown, with freckles on her nose
a-Pencils in her pockets and ketchup on her clothesD7  
She's a Greal nice girl, pretty as a plate
The Dboys call her Katie when they ask her on a date
And Awho knows, Katie? a-GMaybe you could Abe the Done
[Verse]
There's a Dboy outside, standin' in the rain
Hands are in his pockets he's a D7wonderin' why he came
He's a Greal nice boy, slower than the fall
The Dgirls call him Billy if they're callin' him at all
And Awho knows, Billy? a-GMaybe you could Abe the Done
[Chorus]
But Ghearts don't fly, and words don't sing
DBoys like you can't D7buy no ring
GLove's not stuck, it just moves slow
