She’s the Apple of my Eye
At the grocery store And she, she was handling the job Like she’d done it all before But there was something in the way she Stepped up onto that stool That made me feel like I was About to act like a fool Now it, it could have been The cut of her black linen apron Or it, it could have been The shape of the leg that was escapin’ From beneath the hem of that Short black denim skirt But it made me feel like I was In for a whole world of hurt Because she’s sweeter than the center of a watermelon She’s softer than peaches in July She’s stronger than the peel on a pomegranate She’s the apple of my eye I, I walked over to her and Tried to catch her eye I, I walked over, I selected a nectarine And I said, “hi.” She looked over her right shoulder As I stood there behind And the shape that her body made twisting that way I just about lost my mind Because she’s fairer than the blush on a strawberry She’s fresher than a homemade cherry pie She’s finer than a soda made of lemon-lime And she’s the Apple of my Eye I asked her if I could have a date She pointed to an old wooden crate I said I was thinking Friday at eight and she said Okay that sounds great We, we went out to a movie That was not so good So then we, we went out For some drinks at a bar in my neighborhood The conversation was amazing Even though it was real hard to her And when I walked her to her car She grabbed me, kissed me real hard And she whispered this in my ear She said, you’ve lovelier than blue on a blueberry You’re livelier that the color of papaya You’re lighter than the inside of a Clementine You’re the Apple of my Eye, yeah, yeah, yeah She’s sweeter than the center of a watermelon She’s softer than peaches in July She’s stronger than the peel on a pomegranate She’s the apple of my eye Now I’m so glad that I got closer To my favorite little grocer She’s the Apple of my Eye
