Tall, tan and young and lovely The boy from ipanema goes walking When he passes each girl he passes Goes ahhhh When he walks Hes like samba That swings so cool and sways so gentle That when he passes Each girl he passes goes Ahhh Ohhh but i watch him so sadly How can i tell him i love him Yes i would give him my heart gladly But each day when he walks to the sea He looks straight ahead not at me Tall and tan and young and hansome The boy from ipanema goes walking And when he passes he goes ahhh I smile but he doesnt see He just doesnt see He never sees me
