lyrics

Met her in a bar one evening
Caught her eye as she was leaving,
My state was I couldn't stand
She wrote her number on my hand.

Then by a twist of fate
She called me up the following day
And all that I could do was mumble.
How the hell'd she get my number?

I dunno which route to take
Barely know the girl for heaven's sake.
All's I know is that in any case
She works in mysterious ways.

Now take this for instance
An example of her weirdness;
We went out to get some food
She disappeared half way through.

Saw her out later on
She grew shifty her face grew long.
But when the end did come
She asked me would I walk her home.

We walked about the town,
I was anticipating her turning me down.
All's I know is that in any case
She works in mysterious ways.

She asked me back to hers for a drink
And all I could do was tremble.
Yes she made me tremble.
Oh yes, she made me tremble.

Back to hers, got more drunk,
Smoked a fag, smoked some skunk.
We made out and had a laugh
Then she said "Honey I'm not that kind of girl, you better sleep in the bath"

Oh, she turned me upside down
So's my smile became a frown.
All's I know is that in any case
She works in mysterious ways.
