lyrics

The Girl Who Checks All The Boxes
Words & Music © 2017 by Dave Caruso

My mind and my body are barely on the same page
My maturity keeps on forgetting to act my age
My head assured me that my heart could never change

Had I fallen out of touch?
Or maybe I just wanted too much

All my good friends were ready to knock this / They said it couldn't be done
But I've found the girl who checks all the boxes
Let me fill you in: She's the one

Experience warned me, "Forget her -- you're not her speed"
Confidence tried to convince me she's out of my league
But Persistence promised me this time I'd succeed

Because something about us clicked
And now every single box is ticked

Some of my friends were pretty obnoxious / They even bet me a ton
But I've found the girl who checks all the boxes
Let me fill you in: She's the one

My voice had fallen flat
And my two left feet weren't budging
But now I'm singing like no one's listening
And dancing like there's no one judging

All my good friends were ready to block this / Told me to pack up and run
But I've found the girl who checks all the boxes
Let me fill you in: She's the one

All my good friends were ready to stop this / They said it couldn't be done
But I've found the girl who checks all the boxes
Let me fill you in: She's the one
