Barry Manilow - Real Live Girl - Текст песни

Pardon me miss, 
but I've never done this with a real live girl. 
What could be harmful in holding an armful 
of real live girl? 
Pardon me if your affectionate squeeze 
fogs up my goggles and buckles my knees. 
I'm simply drowned in the sound 
and the sight and the scent 
and the feel of a real live girl. 
Nothing can beat getting swept off your feet 
by a real live girl. 
Dreams in your bunk don't compare with a hunk 
of a real live girl. 
Girls were too girlish was once my belief. 
What a reversal and what a relief! 
I'll take the flowering hat and the towering heel
and the squeal of a real live girl. 
I've seen photographs and facsimiles 
that have set my heart off in a whirl. 
But I'd overlook everyone in the book 
for a real live girl. 
Take your Venetian or Roman or Grecian 
ideal live girl. 
Go be a holdout for Helen of Troy. 
I am a healthy American boy, 
and I'd rather gape at the dear 
little shape of the stern 
and the keel of a real live, 
full-time vocational, all-operational girl.
