I saw her yesterday And I never felt a feeling like the one I felt today And now she's taking over me I've never met anyone like you Cause I never could find the words to write you She's been on my mind (she's working overtime) She's got perfect reasons Says she loves to talk to Jesus I think I believe her when she says Life can be so simple if we'd all just learn to pray She's got every little thing I wanted And it still feels just like the day it started I'll say goodbye to the broken-hearted And I could never express the way I felt before tonight She sits there all alone She's reading from a chapter that she sometimes calls her own And now she's taken over me This girl I once rejected Has now become the girl of my dreams She's got every little thing I wanted And it still feels just like the day it started I'll say goodbye to the broken-hearted And I could never express the way I felt before tonight She's not an ordinary girl I can see it in her eyes I'm just an ordinary boy God must have heard my prayers last night She's been on my mind (she's working overtime) She's got perfect reasons, says she loves to talk to Jesus I think I believe her when she says Life can be so simple if we'd all just learn to pray Every little thing I wanted And it still feels just like the day it started So say goodbye to the broken-hearted And I could never express the way I felt before tonight She's not an ordinary girl I can see it in her eyes I'm just an ordinary boy God must have heard my prayers last night
