I sat there in the angry chair like a pint-sized Mona Lisa
She danced around to “Come On Baby”
When she said “everything’s fine” I believed her
She is an angel on her home planet
There’s life there but not as we know it
The girl who purred - a real Rolls Royce in a standard world
I know I love her
She’s gentle and lonesome and always comes back
Her heart’s much bigger than your shopping centres
When she’s tired she clings to me
We love to go off on our adventures
She is a strange and wonderful creature, wonderful…
The girl who purred
A triple Angel in a standard poor world, I know I love her
She says "if I don't help the autistic kids who will? Who will?"
I’d walk a million miles for one of her smiles
She laughs and says "I won't be holding my breath"
The girl who purred, a real Rolls Royce in a standard world,
I… yeah I know I love her
