Not long ago in my high school days
I watched a girl from so far away
But every time she passed me by
I turned my head away and quietly sighed

And when she walked by her hair would dance
Secret tango that only I could understand
And when she asked me for the time of day
I look her in the eyes and quietly say

Oh, Gura, Gura
Do you have any clue who I am?
Listen up 'cause I'll tell you once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can

Woah, Gura, Gura
You don't know me, so I'll have to persist
Kinda shy so no wonder why
Gura doesn't know I exist

Past the class, I followed her
Let her tour, leave her undisturbed
And if she ever stopped and turned around
Get so nervous I stare at the ground

Then one day in photography
Find a contact print that I cannot believe
And there she was staring back at me
So I took her up so quietly
Ah

Gura, Gura
Do you have any clue who I am?
Listen up 'cause I'll tell you once
And I'll explain myself the best that I can

Woah, Gura, Gura
You don't know me, so I'll have to persist
Kinda shy so no wonder why
Gura doesn't know I exist

1/17/98
Spend a day that I come to hate
As I walked into the video store
There she stood as my jaw fell to the floor

Tapping your toe, and waiting in line
With a movie and Ina by her side
Why did bother, why did I care?
About this girl named
Gawr Gura

Gura, Gura
You'll never get to know I am
This is goodbye, so please don't cry
And I'll let you down softly as I can

Oh, Gura, Gura
Another name to cross off my list
In another life it could've been nice but
Gura doesn't know what she missed
