Cathy With The Curly Hair - Eleanor Friedberger

Do you still live with Cathy with the curly hair?

Yeah, but I’ve been waiting for a tall, half-Greek girl

To take me away from here

We met in December when you got snowed in

Talked for twelve or fifteen hours

I don’t know where to begin

But if you’d ask me, I wouldn’t care

And if you’d met me, I’d be there

But if you’d let me, I wouldn’t dare

But if you’d let me

We talked again on Valentine’s day

But you stayed away, oh

And I know that you were right

And I know that you were wrong

Somewhere behind those blue eyes

And long blonde hair

Oh, yeah your manners were good

And you told me everything I wanted to hear

But if you’d ask me, I wouldn’t care

And if you’d met me, I’d be there

But if you’d let me, I wouldn’t dare

But if you’d let me

You took the bus in LA with the a book in your back pocket

It took you two hours to just to say hi, so I asked:

Do you still remember Cathy with the curly hair?

Yeah, but I’ve been waiting for a tall half-Greek girl

To take me away from here

But if you’d ask me, I wouldn’t care

And if you’d met me, I’d be there

But if you’d let me, no, I wouldn’t dare

But if you’d let me
