The Girl From Ipanema Lyrics

Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes "ah-ha"
I said when she walks
She′s like a samba that swings so cool
And sways so gentle
That when she passes
Each one she passes goes "yeah, yeah, yeah"

I said oh, but I watch her so sadly
I wonder how can I tell her I love her
I said oh yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each and every day as she walks to the sea
You know she looks straight ahead
She won't look back at me
Not tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes

I smile but the girl just won′t
She won't look back at me

I said oh, but I watch her so sadly
I wonder how, how can I tell her that I love her so
I said oh yes, yes, I would give my heart to that girl so gladly
But each and every day as she walks to the sea
You know she looks straight ahead
She won't look back at me
Not tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
I smile but the girl just won′t look back at me

To see if I am looking back
To see if she is looking back
To see if I am looking back
To see if she is looking back
To see if I am looking back at her

As she walks down to the sea

Oh she looks so good to me
And everybody else because she′s wearing
One of them real cute bikini bathing suits
And it sure does look good to me

I said it really, really, really looks so good to me
I was looking back to see if she was looking back
To see if I was looking back
To see if she was looking back at me
But she wouldn't look back at me

As she walked down to the sea

She wouldn′t look at me
