Elephant Girl - Squeeze

She’s interested in me

I’m interested in her

But there’s a distance

Each morning as she walks

Our eyes exchange a thought

Our hearts, an interest

I’ve seen her at the club

Expanding with the funk

She looks so brilliant

She sticks close to her friends

And when the music ends

She is the Indian

I’d like to meet the Elephant Girl

I feel we know each other so well

From eyes that meet the love they seek

Interested to get close to you

Interested to get close to you

I’m interested to meet

The girl that looks at me

I will be trying

Her colour unlike mine

Her hair the plaited vine

I will be climbing

My leg is always pulled

By friends who really would

But say they wouldn’t

The joke’s against my heart

Immediately she’s barred

Their hearts are wooden

I’d like to meet the Elephant Girl

I feel we know each other so well

From eyes that meet the love they seek

Interested to get close to you

Interested to get close to you

I’m interested in her

She’s interested in me

Her distance shortens

She walks towards the light

I walk towards the lines

That seem important

I’m counting up to ten

By five she’s gone again

Into the distance

I’ll try again to nudge my

Courage for the love/look

Without resistance

I’d like to meet the Elephant Girl

I feel we know each other so well

From eyes that meet the love they seek

Interested to get close to you

Interested to get close to you
