Boy and Girl Songtext
von Todd and Jingyu

Tell me about yourself

I′m a doctor back in China, doing research now in America
I wanted to be an artist but my parents were not sure

Girl: I like to sing along to music, in China I danced on stage
Boy: She is lovely, the shape of her arm

Girl: I try to cook beyond just
Chinese food, the culture here is different
Boy: She speaks so softly, she makes me feel calm

Girl: My roommate leaves things
Everywhere, she spreads her clothes out on the floor
Boy: There's something else about her, maybe I′m wrong

I hope when there's a pause in things to say
I'll get closer and she won′t move away
I hope when there′s a pause in things to say
I'll get closer and she won′t move away

Tell me more about you

Me? I worked at ad agencies in
Manhattan, now I have my own creative shop
I like to talk about ideas, I record songs that I write and play


Girl: He's nice, he′s cute
Boy: I read a lot, I like Salinger, Steinbeck, Rand, and Hemingway

Girl: He's talking fast,
He is smart, he′s showing off, but I don't mind
Boy: I've traveled to different
Places, I′m planning to visit Italy soon

Girl: Somehow, he′s very warm
Boy: I like a bottle of red wine, with dinner and real conversation

I hope when there's a pause in things to say
He′ll get closer and I won't move away
I hope when there′s a pause in things to say
He'll get closer and I won′t move away

Girl: He's nice, he's cute
Boy: She is lovely, the shape of her arm

Girl: He′s talking fast,
He is smart, he′s showing off, but I don't mind
Boy: She speaks so softly, she makes me feel calm

Girl: Somehow, he′s very warm
Boy: There's something else about her, maybe I′m wrong

Girl: So much to say
Boy: I hope when there's a pause in things to say


I hope he gets closer

And she won′t move away

I hope when there's a pause in things to say (I know)
I'll get closer

That I won′t move away

Girl: What kind of ad work do you do?
Boy: What kind of research do you do?

So, what were you saying?

I like that you write songs

Well, you sing, and you wanted to be an artist
But isn′t creativity needed for all work anyway? Could be

I think you are right
