The Girl I Love
The Visions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Love You Girl

I noticed the freckle on the back of your neck
ten years ago on a ferry on the boat deck
I noticed the differens between you different modes
you learned how to sing my credits card codes

I learned you cant eat more than ten apples a day
once you did it in Denmark and you started to sway
we've been to Barcelona and we've been to Rome
we went to New York City and then we went back home

I know you girl you know me
I know you girl you know me

Still working on the first verse
still working on our song
still working on the first verse
it's now 20 years long

soon we'll take Manhattan again
soon we'll take the chorus
but before we do let's take a break
and let's celebrate for us

Still working on the first verse
Still working on the first verse

I love you girl do you know me
I love you girl do you know me

you know we've set the tempo
we've set the mood and we've set the groove
and I'm pretty sure the
first verse can't improve

I'm magnetic to music
I'm magnetic to you




let me take you by the hand
and lead you all way through

I saw the Visions at an appliance store on McDonald Ave Brooklyn NY around the same time the Beatles were to play at Shea Stadium. I remember they all had different colored hair.

@aeon23

That must have been a different group with the same name. This group is a Jamaican group
