All right, goodbye
You've taught me my lesson
Get mixed up with a genius from Ohio
It happens over and over

I pick the sharp intellectual kind
Why couldn't this time be different
Why couldn't she only be
Another kind, a different kind of girl

I love a quiet girl
I love a gentle girl
Warm as sunlight
Soft, soft as snow

Her smile, a tender smile
Her voice, a velvet voice
Sweet as music
Soft, soft as snow

When she is near me
The world's in repose
We need no words
She sees, she knows

But where is my quiet girl
Where is my gentle girl
Where is the special girl
Who is soft, soft as snow

Somewhere
Somewhere
My quiet girl

Ruth

When she is near me
The world's in repose
We need no words
She sees, she knows

But where is my quiet girl
Where is my gentle girl
Where is the special girl
Who is soft, soft as snow

Somewhere
Somewhere
My quiet girl

I know a quiet girl

I know a quiet girl
Hoping, waiting
But he'll never know

I know a quiet girl
I know a gentle girl
