Well I saw her standing over by the record machine   Just like all the others when they turn sixteen   I've heard of seven wonders and I've ate sliced bread   But nothing else compares to my Kari-Anne      Well I've gotta funny feeling   And I've gotta funny walk   But when Kari-Anne comes over   Oh it's not my fault      Momma I've been waiting here for something new   Waiting all my life to find a love that's true   I don't expect the whole world to understand   Cause nothing else compares to my Kari-Anne      Under a pile of leaves, that's where I used to keep my love.   Behind the warning sign that's where you once could find my love
