While Sittin' At the Light

*written for my daughter Erin's birthday, to be sung by her boyfriend and his band(??) Rolled up to the street light and there she sat Rappin ' 'er fingers to the beat on her dash Where did she come from, hidin' in the world? How could it be I've never seen this girl? Sportin' a cigarette 'neath the sleeve of her top Bumper sticker says she's a fan of SlipKnot Smiled at me as I rounded the curb Had to get a second look so I threw it in reverse Shouted out a tune to me as I caught her eye No doubt about it she's just gotta have a guy (chorus) Don't know what she's doin' Don't know if it's right Don't care I'm gonna stare While sittin' at the light Is she thinkin' the same thing? Is it love at first sight? I'm gonna get to know her if it takes all night Chocolate eyes and caramel hair She's a beauty in the making And I just gotta stare A captivating smile like she knows what's up Wanna show her I mean business And she's gonna make it tough Light turns green and she's takin' off Don't wanna lose sight of her down the block Wanna take her home I grab my phone Snap a picture of her Before she's gone (repeat chorus)
