If you should see me when I’m walking down the street
If you should see me with my back straight as can be
With my chin up and my teeth… flashing you a smile
If you should see me
Say hey girl, whatcha hopin’ for today
Say hey girl, whatcha singin’ on your way
To the bus stop, to the train, in the sunshine, in the rain
And what’s your name, hey girl, what’s your name
If you should see me when I’m coming home from school
If you should see me bundled up in winter wool
If I’m looking straight at you, well then honey as a rule, I hope you say
If you should see me
Say hey girl, whatcha lookin’ for today
Say hey girl, whatcha thinkin’ on your way
To the bus stop, to the train, in the sunshine, in the rain
And what’s your name, hey girl, what’s your name
And Lord knows I’ve been hollered at before
And Lord knows, that’s not what I’m lookin’ for
But hey girl, I’ve been waitin’ for you for so long
And so there’s nothing wrong
If you should see me when you’re weary from the years
If you should see me when you’ve had it up to here
You want someone you can share both the sweetness and the tears
Well I hope you say, If you should see me
Say hey girl, how you doin’ for today
Say hey girl, can I walk you on your way
To the bus stop, to the train, in the sunshine in the rain
And what’s your name, hey girl, what’s your name
