She smiled and said, "If you are who I think you are
I'd really like to meet you."
I laughed and said, "If you are what I think you are

She said, "You've taught me lots of things

And I got your picture tacked over my bed
And you know I once wrote you a letter.", she said
"And I don't believe that a night that was spent
By a girl with her childhood hero could ever be wrong."

And a half, half a fifth of Chivas Regal

So I can dream about this later
When you've forgotten me
I'll remember you."
"'Cause you are my childhood hero.", she said

And I got your picture tacked over my bed
And you know I once wrote you a letter.", she said
"And I don't believe that a night that was spent
By a girl with her childhood hero could ever be wrong..."
