In the back of the room

It was there that I saw you

In a shirt that you wore

Knowing I'd be in the store

Then you left down the stairs

Follow you I wouldn't dare

I accepted my fate

That I'd never see your face again

Again

Oh bookstore girl I wonder what your name is

You know you're famous in my group of friends

Oh bookstore girl I feel a sudden urge to

Purchase the book you shelved the other day

Bookstore girl

Bookstore girl

Going back just to see

If still in the store you'd be

Reading only the books that you'd recommend to me

Knowing more than just your name

It wouldn't be the same

Remaining fantasy

That's more romantic to me

To me

Oh bookstore girl I wonder what your name is

You see the shame is

I might never know

I'll always have the Adler Stein and Nelson

Authors I fell in love with when I met

Bookstore girl

Bookstore girl

I asked you foolishly

If you work 'til three

On a Sunday afternoon

Bookstore girl I'll see you soon

Oh yeah bookstore girl I'll see you soon
