[Verse 1] She was walking through the mall I followed her from store to store We ate together before she left And I watched her walk away [Chorus] She was dressed in corduroy Dressed in corduroy By the time you read this I'll be gone [Verse 2] We watched an awful movie The lights went down when we kissed She ate all my popcorn I spilled soda on her breast [Chorus] Dressed in corduroy She was drenched in corduroy By the time you read this I'll be gone [Verse 3] We made love in her apartment I found her dark and docile She left me happy She left her clothes on my floor [Chorus] Piles of corduroy I was wrapped in corduroy By the time you read this I'll be gone [Outro] She left me happy She left me happy
