Nature Girl

Here is a little song that I like to sing
It's about a girl who I think about still
She lives in a little shack among the trees
I was in love with her, but she didn't love me
I bought her presents, I bought her things
An expensive dress and a diamond ring
But the girl liked to live all by herself
With a fly and a spider as her pets

A wise man said love makes you blind
Nobody liked her but for me she was divine
A queen of the forest, a nature girl
A goddess of green, it was always her
I heard she was a widow, her husband died
He was chopping some wood when a tree fell down
And he broke his neck, yes he broke his spine
So I thought I stood a chance to make her mine

And so I bravely asked her to marry me
I offered her happiness in the city
But she was a hard girl, like a bow you can't bend
A door you can't unlock, she just wouldn't relent
She told me that I was too busy
With the things that I owned, it imprisoned me
That she was my love, I couldn't make her see
So I thought it would be best for me to flee

This was the story about the nature girl
If you walk in that forest you might meet her
She's a witch, she's a nymph, but at least she's real
If you mess with her mind you will get a raw deal
She'll see right through you, like she did with me
What you are and what you're gonna be
Take a look in her eyes and you know what I mean
There's more to this picture than what you see
