Lyrics:
You’re such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You’re such a strange girl
I really don’t understand a word
You’re such a strange girl
I’d like to shake you around and around
You’re such a strange girl
I’d like to turn you all upside down
You’re such a strange girl
The way you look like you do
You’re such a strange girl
I want to be with you, I think I’m falling, I think I’m falling in
I think I’m falling in love with you
You’re such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You’re such a strange girl
I really don’t understand a word
You’re such a strange girl
I’d like to shake you around and around
You’re such a strange girl
I’d like to turn you all upside down
You’re such a strange girl
The way you look like you do
You’re such a strange girl
I want to be with you
