A song about a boy who follows a girl to a library every day and slowly falls in love. #Lit #Books #Love

lyrics

Bookish Girl

I saw you every day on the bus.
I hoped you’d notice me,
but your nose was always in a book.
One day, I got off at your stop
and followed you down that city block.
When you walked in the library,
I almost turned away;
books just weren’t for boys like me.

Do they have a book on you?
Do they have a book on love?

Well, I applied for a card,
just so I could follow you in.
I traced your steps from reference to fiction.
Would you believe that for months
I read every single book you touched?
I’ve learned a lot—yes, I’ve grown wise—
but I still don’t know how to tell you
I wish you were mine.

CHORUS

Well, bookish girl, you’ve got it all:
the smarts, the smile, and the beating heart.
I could be any kind of lover you wish;
a Dorian Gray, a Rhett Butler, or a Heathcliff.
Ours could be a novel love,
like a good book you can’t get enough of.
