(paul foglino)

He aint handsome, he aint witty, he aint cute
Lives in his mothers house, wears a brown suit
He works, gets paid twice a month
Tells his friends, yeah, I had a girlfriend, once
Doesnt do too much, he just kind of hangs around
Couldnt fall in love until it came and knocked him down

Shes got sisters, they make her cry
Mom says, you get your looks from your fathers side
Youre a very pretty girl her daddy swears
Shes got a mole on her left cheek with three black hairs
Bought a beat up ford with what shed saved for a wedding gown
Couldnt fall in love until it came and knocked her down

They meet at a place, a place where people meet
Life aint all that bad he says, and she says, I agree
Its a fairy tale for a dragon and a witch
Theyre perfect for each other, she aint pretty he aint rich
Theyre a little bit surprised by what theyve found
Couldnt fall in love until it came and knocked them down

A pretty girl with coal black hair
Takes her handsome beau to a family affair
He kisses mamas right cheek and he gives daddys hand a shake
Thinks to himself, this must be some mistake
Hes just seen it come and go and come and go around
Couldnt fall in love until it came and knocked him down
