Lyrics
UNOBTAINABLE GIRL
Here's an age-old tale about the wishing well and the unobtainable girl
It's an allegory, trade in sex for glory but the moral of the story well, who can tell?
But somewhere over the airwaves you're gonna hear your favorite
Song tonight
This singer's got his job to do
He's gonna tell you what will get you through and
Make you feel alright...
Here next to the speaker baby is where I gain
What the others just can't obtain
If music is your sacred thrill then you can be with me tonight,
So unobtainable!
Put your ear next to the speaker darlin'
And let me whisper "Baby, I love you"
Do the words seem to ring a bell or
Have you stayed too long so unobtainable girl
Here's the missing verse: For better or for worse about the unobtainable girl
With your sleeve heart-laden you're a deprived maiden
And it's all because you gave and then they smashed your world
But while flipping through all your stations
Somehow I've gotta catch your pretty ear
This song is going out to you it's gonna tell you what you've
Got to do to make you feel alright...
Here next to the speaker baby is where I gain
What the others just can't obtain
If music is your sacred thrill why don't you
Come with me tonight, so unobtainable!
Just put your ear next to the speaker darlin'
And let me whisper "Baby, I love you"
Do those words seem to ring a bell or
Have you stayed too long the unobtainable girl
You know that I adore you, you know I'll be here for you
It say so in my songs
Just flipping through some stations, some minor navigations
And we're gonna right all of your wrongs, ALRIGHT!
But somewhere over the airwaves you're gonna
Hear your favorite song tonight
The singer's got his job to do, ooh ooh, he's gonna
Tell you what will get you through and make you
Feel alright...
Here next to the speaker baby is where I gain
What the others just can't obtain
If music is your sacred thrill then you can be
With me tonight, so unobtainable!
Oh just put your ear next to the speaker darlin'
And let me whisper "Baby, I love you"
Do those words seem to ring a bell
Or have you stayed too long
Pretty baby have you stayed too long
Or have you stayed too long
Little darlin' have you stayed too long
