Lyrics

Now you're a pretty pretty girl
I'm glad you came backstage
I'm glad you came backstage
I'm glad I know you
But I don't want to do what you're so sure that I want to do
Since my heart was won by a girl from Forestdale
See my heart was won dear
By a girl

If my heart ain't in it
I don't like sex that much
You may think it's cause
I'm married to her
But it's the other way around
I'm married to her because I didn't want anyone else
Since my heart was won by a girl from Forestdale
Since my heart was won
By a girl

That you don't know

So, hug me and kiss me more
That's right, that's good, that's fine
My heart will never change
I'll always love all people
I never would just see
Cause I'm in love with her that doesn't mean I love people less
In fact, since my heart was won by a girl from Forestdale
I fell more in love
With the world

Leave your phone number, that's good
I'll call you up at different times
I'll be your friend
I'm glad I know you
It's just that I don't want to do what you're still sure that I want to do
My heart was won dear by a girl from Forestdale
My heart was won
By a girl

Lyrics

You're a pretty pretty girl
A sexy sexy in fact
That's right

I'm glad you came backstage
Glad I met you
But I don't want to do what you're so sure that I want to do
Since my heart was won by a girl from forestdale
I'm already in love with the whole world

My heart has not changed
I love her so more than I did before
She thinks I'm not as close
Since I met her
But that ain't how it works
I just love people better

My heart was won
By a girl from Forestdale
I said I'm all in love
With the world

Bring it down

That's right
??? Nothing wrong with that
My wife doesn't mind that
??? Backstage
So sad I know you
But I don't want to do those things they're so sure I want to do

Since my heart was won
By a girl from Forestdale
My heart started going all soft
For the world

Lyrics

[It's a new song, you haven't heard it
My newest song, I'm still making it up
Now I hope it's clear what I, what I want to get now
Since I fell in love, my heart got more warm for the world
That's right, I made most of it up but just a little of the odds and ends you know what I'm saying]

Now you're a very
Now you're a very pretty girl you know
And I'm glad you came backstage, that's right
I'm glad you came backstage
I'm glad I know you
But I don't really think you want to do what you want to do
Since my heart was won by that girl from Forestdale
I love the world more than I did before

I loved the world more
Than I did before I met her, that's right
My heart has not slowed down
I never close the door
To me that's not what falling in love was put there for
Since my heart was won
By that girl from Forestdale
It goes all soft for the world

Now you're a very pretty girl [I'll go farther than that dear]
You're a sexy sexy girl, ok
I'm glad you came backstage
I'm glad now I know you
But I don't really think you want to do what you want to do
My heart was won dear by a girl from Forestdale
And when my heart has been making love
That's what I want honey

So, now, you're a nice girl too, yeah
Some boy should cherish you, ok
The boy who wakes up next to you
Should thank God above that he slept next to you
The way I get with my girl from Forestdale
My heart was won by a girl

[Thank you, good night]

[Thank you everyone]

Lyrics

Now you're a ??? pretty pretty girl
That's right
And you're a sexy sexy girl
Ok
Well
I'm glad you came backstage
I'm glad now I know you
But I don't think you really want do what you think you want to do
Since my heart was won by a girl from Forestdale
My heart gets so soft for the world
I don't want to do that stuff with you honey

Now I love the world more
Than I did before I met her
My heart never closed the door
It never slowed down
I love people
In fact I love my old friends better than I did before I met her

Since my heart was won
By a girl from Forestdale
It just gets all soft
For the world

So I'm going to tell you about it now

My heart is free to roam now
No jail warden keeps it home
Ok now
I got the kind of heart that explodes
Each unknown growing vale

My heart does not get afraid
When left alone in this thin dale
But it does complain however
When too far off the trail

So let's get back to you dear

You're a very pretty girl
You're nice to some boys who cherish you
The boy who wakes up next to you
Should be so grateful that he has slept with you

And that's the way I get you know
With that girl from Forestdale
You find a guy like that
Then, and then that's not me now

Well now
I love the world more now
I love people more than when we fell in love
My heart has not slowed down
I never close a door
I love my friends better than I ever did before
In fact, since I loved that girl
Well that girl from Forestdale
I love the world more
Than I ever did before

That's how I'm going to close this session out
I never love people less
I love people more
Than I did before
My name is Jonathan Richman
We're going to talk to you in just a little while
Bye bye
