Verse:
 
           C            G 
It was a Monday afternoon, 
           Em           D/F#          C     G       Em      
I was waiting for you early and then she walked by. 
           C            G             Em           D/F# 
And whatever I was thinking, it went chasing after her. 
     Am           C 
But I don't know why. 
           C            G             Em                D/F# 
Why I couldn't say a word my tongue was laced up like my sneakers, 
           C    G       Em 
Don't you know I tried. 
           C            G             Em           D/F# 
Can't stop seeing her walking by and she didn't even see me, no. 
Am           C 
I don't know why. 
 
Chorus 
 
          Em                     
'Cause I don't know anything about her,  
 A7 
Don't think I can live without her, 
 C                     G 
I don't even know her name. 
          Em                 
And I don't know if she's associated, 
 A7                             C                      G 
I think that could be debated, right after I know her name. 
 
Verse: 
 
                  C                 G                Em                D/F# 
My friend said, "Son, it's understood that this happens with some frequency. 
              C      G        Em 
You should think this through." 
              C               G 
Yeah, we heard she was well known, 
              Em              D/F#           C      G      Em 
And this would not be out of sequence for a boy like you. 
              C              G 
As for the state of my well-being, 
       Em            D/F#  
I appreciate your interest. 
           C    G       Em 
But, just hear my side. 
                C             G 
She's not like all the other girls, 
            Em                D/F# 
Yes I really think she's different, no. 
 Am            C 
Soon you can decide. 
 
Chorus
 
             Em                     
'Cause you don't know anything about her,  
  A7 
Don't think you can live without her, 
  C                      G 
You don't even know her name. 
            Em 
And you don't know if she's associated, 
A7                                C                         G 
You think that could be debated, right after you know her name.

Chorus
 
           Em 
'Cause I don't know everything about her,  
 A7 
Know that I can live without her, 
 C                      G 
I don't even know her name. 
             Em     
And I don't know if she's associated, 
 A7                                  C                    G 
She thinks that could be debated, right after I know her name.
