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
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.
