I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone

Everyone stands on the corner promiscuously
Looking like something to fight, something to beat
Did anyone else see that girl who was pulling away?
Like if she pulled off to the side, I'd have something to say

I said, I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone

And you've got permission
To see other men while you sleep
And we wage perpetual war for perpetual peace
One says, "Hey, what gets with you?"
The other says, "What gets with you?"
It's the pace that gets to you, all right

She said, "I met a girl, I'd like to know better"
But I'm already with someone
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone

I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
And it's so, so long
When you're so, so wrong

We interweave so much that we've lost a bit of solid ground
An' all for a kiss, the things that we miss are leveling out
An' I waste my time, question it, drag my heels a bit
Forever pressures me, now I want to be

Wrapped in rhythm, soul, space and rock and roll
Nothing appeals to me like bottoming out
And I erase time, sleep a bit, smoke the rest of it
Because time don't mean a thing without

I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
I met a girl, I'd like to know better
But I'm already with someone
