I'd like to meet:

Well she don't act cool and she don't blow hot and cold
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow
Well she laughs when she wants like you do when you're five years old
And she loves the faded colors of the dark
Just like I do
She rocks, she swings
She delights in the faded things ohhh
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow
She laughs, she delights
She delights in the faded colors of night
Just like I do
Just like I do
Well she don't act cool don't act like a femme fatale
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow
Well she laughs when she laughs she's the breeze she's the naturale
She loves the faded colors of 3 am
Just like I do
She rocks, she swings
She delights in the faded things now
Her mystery not of high heels and eye shadow
She laughs, she delights
She delights in the faded colors of night
Just like I do
Just like I do
