lyrics

SYRIAN GIRL

Before I wish you goodnight
Before I bid you adeiu
We don't know how long we'll live
If we live through the night
It took some time to be born
But now it's time to die
Because you're Daddy's Little Girl
and I messed with your mind
My little Syrian girl

Barely sixteen -- she was old for her age (and quite developed)
Almost nineteen -- what to do when September comes?
Off to college -- will the post-man be our love connection
How long can I wait?
These college girls are beckoning
Understand my reckoning
My little Syrian girl

Barely senior -- she was girl no more (but still in high-school)
Almost junior -- what to do when the Real World calls?
Out to Cali -- will I join the ranks of fellow dropouts?
I can hardly wait.
These LA girls are beckoning
Time to face our reckoning
My little Syrian girl

It was only mutual attraction
She was looking fine in her traction
I had nothing to offer but my adoration
If I do not say what I'm thinking
and I do not do what I'm wanting
how can you call it?
How can it be cheating if we don't kiss?
When all I can think of is how I miss
My little Syrian girl
