Standard (EADGBE)

 If there's a girl who's ever looked better

 Well, you ain't never met her

 You see her walking 'round carrying her records

 She's into The Upsetters

 And you don't know her name, but you've seen her around

 But you know where she's from, because you live in her town

 You're asking mutual friends if you can be introduced

 But the girl's distracted and it's just no use..

 You're taking looks at her over your shoulder

 She doesn't even notice (that's right)

 She can't concentrate, she can't focus

 Your situation's hopeless

 There's always something more interesting catching her eye

 She's not the type to let opportunities pass her by

 You think she's playing it cool, but that just isn't true

 The girl's distracted and she don't see you!

...

 You call her up on the phone but she just doesn't care

 She'll be telling her mom to tell you she's not there

 I know you wanted to get a little time all alone

 But the girl's distracted and she's just not home.
