Lyric The Right Kind Of Phrase

words & music by jason mraz

Once there was a girl that came from not too far from here

And she wasn t satisfied at the rate that she applied herself

To the items on the shelf, she was a retail girl



And that really has to do with nothing though she gave me something

A smile I ll rely on for a lifetime I d try on for awhile



So now why is she getting married on the 25th of april

She believes in higher energy and better things for all the people

She is a charm of good luck when she s sitting by your side

But I think my luck run out on april twenty five



Oh love, oh love is all I m looking for

Sitting in the corner in the dark

Hoping that she d eye me, I m looking right her way

But I d never find the right thing to say

I d never find the right kind of phrase



There was a secret somebody

Of course I never get the upper hand

Those kinds of rare finds are all born with a man

I just don t understand how they can



Oh love, oh love is all I m looking for

Sitting in the corner in the dark and on the floor

Hoping that she d spy on me, I m looking right her way

I d never find the right kind of phrase



The right kind, the right line, or the right time to say almost anything that s right

the right kind of phrase.

I d never find the right thing to say
