» Gonna Get That Girl
By Mary Lou Sudkamp, BMI / Kirk Dearman, ASCAP
V1
The first time we met I knew I loved her
But then her love belonged to someone else
He made her promises that won her heart
Seems lies were all that she was dealt
She spent too many nights crying
Each promise he made her came undone
She wised up and walked out, so now it’s my chance
Oh yeah, my plans have just begun … ‘cause
CHORUS
This time I’m gonna get that girl
I’m not gonna stop ‘til she’s mine
Show her that love can be sweet as candy
Yeah, I’m gonna get that girl … this time
V2
I’ll be her knight in shining armor
Try to make each dream she has come true
Dance under stars in the moonlight
And share candlelight dinners for two
I’ll hold her close and sing her love songs
Go for walks in the park, hand in hand
Have champagne picnics on the beach at sunset
As we write our names in the sand … ‘cause
CHORUS
This time I’m gonna get that girl
I’m not gonna stop ‘til she’s mine
Show her that love can be sweet as candy
Yeah, I’m gonna get that girl … this time
BRIDGE
I won’t make mistakes he made
You can bet I’m gonna treat her right
And he’ll be just a distant memory
While I hold her close each night … ‘cause
CHORUS
This time I’m gonna get that girl
I’m not gonna stop ‘til she’s mine
Show her that love can be sweet as candy
Yeah, I’m gonna get that girl
This time I’m gonna get that girl
I’m not gonna stop ‘til she’s mine
Show her that love can be sweet as candy
Yeah, I’m gonna get that girl …
TAG: this time … I’m gonna get that girl!
