Mama told her what to do
Sit and behave
Don't make a sound now
When she was eight
She had found a different fate
Moving her friends
Up and down now
When the clock had moved some more
She could open any door she pleased
She's a Koto girl
Playing eighteen string guitar
Been around
All the eastern world
She can't leave now, but her dreams still travel far
Now She is grown
Has a life all of her own
Plays all the time
Just to be seen now
I met her here
Drinking cold ASAHI beer
Or could have been
A grass of tsing tao
I walked up and asked her please
She replied hello in cantonese
She's a Koto Girl
Who knows what she wants to be
Been around
All the eastern world
But hopes someday for a life where she is free
Don't go away (I want to be with you)
I tried to say (Come on, let's see it through)
But she's got those
Stars in her eyes
Shanghai, goodbye
Signed a major record deal
Now she plays TV shows in high hells
She's a Koto girl
A dream come true superstar
Been around all the eastern world
But Koto girl wants to climb the billboard charts
She's a Koto girl
Playing eighteen strings guitar
What a sound
Heard around the world this Koto girl (Koto girl) has got her strings
Wrapped around my heart
When she was two Mama told her what to do Sit and behave Don't make a sound now When she was eight She had found a different fate Moving her friends Up and down now When the clock had moved some more She could open any door she pleased She's a Koto girl Playing eighteen string guitar Been around All the eastern world She can't leave now, but her dreams still travel far Now She is grown Has a life all of her own Plays all the time Just to be seen now I met her here Drinking cold ASAHI beer Or could have been A grass of tsing tao I walked up and asked her please She replied hello in cantonese She's a Koto Girl Who knows what she wants to be Been around All the eastern world But hopes someday for a life where she is free Don't go away (I want to be with you) I tried to say (Come on, let's see it through) But she's got those Stars in her eyes Shanghai, goodbye Signed a major record deal Now she plays TV shows in high hells She's a Koto girl A dream come true superstar Been around all the eastern world But Koto girl wants to climb the billboard charts She's a Koto girl Playing eighteen strings guitar What a sound Heard around the world this Koto girl (Koto girl) has got her strings Wrapped around my heart Explain Request ×
