I saw her yesterday   And I never felt a feeling like the one I felt today   And now she's takin' over me   I've never met anyone like you   'Cause I never could find the words to write you      She's been on my mind   (she's workin' overtime)   She's got perfect reasons, say she loves to talk to Jesus   I think I'll believe her when she says   Life can be so simple if we'd all just learn to pray      She's got every little thing I wanted   And it still feels just like the day it started   I'll say goodbye to the broken hearted   And I could never express the way I felt before tonight      She sits there all alone   She's reading from a chapter that she sometimes calls her own   And now she's taken over me   This girl I once rejected has now become the girl of my dreams      She's got every little thing I wanted   And it still feels just like the day it started   I'll say goodbye to the broken hearted   And I could never express the way I felt before tonight      She's not an ordinary girl, see it in her eyes   I'm just an ordinary boy   God must have heard my prayers last night      She's been on my mind   (She's workin' overtime)   She's got perfect reasons, say she loves to talk to Jesus   I can't believe her when she says   Life can be so simple if we'd all just learn to pray      Every little thing I wanted   And it still feels just like the day it started   So say goodbye to the broken hearted   And I could never express the way I felt before tonight      She's not an ordinary girl, see it in her eyes   I'm just an ordinary boy   God must have heard my prayers last night
