[Verse 1]
A girl went past and just tried to stare me down, uh
And when I looked at you, you looked at the ground
(Would you look around)
Now, I don’t know who she is, but I think that you do
(I think, think that you do)
Daggumit, who is she and what is she to you?

[Verse 2]
Now, now something in my heart and in your eyes
(Dooo-hoo-hoo is she to you?)
Tells me she’s not someone just passing by
(Dooo-hoo-hoo is she to you?)
And when you cleared your throat
Was that supposed to be your cue?
(Ooohhooh who is she to you?)
Daggumit, who was that girl (Who was that girl?)
And what is she to you? (Oh oh who is she to you?)

[Bridge]
Aaaahhh
(Oooh oooh oooh oooh who was that girl
And what is she to you?)

[Verse 3]
When I add the sum of you and me (Oh oh who is she to you?)
Ah I get confused and I keep comin' up with number three (What I add up, is you, and me, and she)
You're too much for one girl but not enough for two
(Oh oh who is she to you?)
Umhm
Daggumit who was that girl and what is she to you
(Oh oh who is she to you?)
