Remember hallways, you're waiting always To see behind the door You never seen her, you're gonna meet her The first time's so unsure She smiles your way through a window You smile right back, she runs away You wish little girls'd sit still just a little bit longer, longer And she's still a mystery to me I thought I'd grow up gracefully I'd understand my woman thoroughly But the more I see (but the more I see) The more I see there is to see, there is to see And she's still a mystery to me (she's still a mystery to me) She's still a mystery to me I used to wonder when in thunder understandin's done But now I'm graspin' that understandin' is only part of love She'll smile your way through a window You'll smile right back, she'll run away You wish little girls'd sit still just a little bit longer, longer And she is still a mystery to me I thought I'd grow up gracefully I'd understand her thoroughly But she's a mystery to me But she's a mystery to me (But she's a mystery to me) (But she's a mystery to me) And she's still a mystery to me (she's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me) She's still a mystery to me (she's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me) She is still a mystery to me, mm-hmm (she's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me) (She's a mystery to me)
