On a Monday afternoon 

I'm stopped at a light on the boulevard 

I'm looking 'round the faces in the other cars 

and there's a cute girl looking back at me 

the light's about to change 

I know this is a little strange 

but in the meantime 

she will be my girl 

in the meantime 

I promise her the world 

in the meantime 

I'm hers and she is mine 

I finally find the perfect girl 

and I am pressed for time 

in the meantime 

I turn on the radio 

just looking for a song and I drift away 

the light is still a ruby red 

as the music plays 

and I keep hoping she just looks my way 

she finally does and smiles at me 

and I want so bad to ask her please 

in the meantime 

will you be my girl 

in the meantime 

I promise you the world 

in the meantime 

I'm yours and you are mine 

ya I finally find the perfect girl 

and I am pressed for time 

in the meantime 

she pulls away 

there goes my girl but she made my day 

ya I'll see you in another lifetime 

but if you don't mind 

you don't mind 

in the meantime ya yeah 

you will be my girl 

in the meantime 

I promised you the world 

in the meantime 

I'm yours and you are mine 

be my meantime girl 

be my meantime girl oh oooooh 

be my meantime girl yeah 

be my meantime girl yeah 

you know you wanna 

be my meantime girl 

you know you wanna 

be my meantime girl yeah 

you know you wanna 

be my meantime girl
