I first saw her face on a silver screen
It was a matinee, a european
I kept returning for at least ten more shows
Then i followed that film 'round until it closed
Someone else should've been thinking for me
They would've said an actress only gives you half the story
The half i saw was more than enough
The half i saw was almost too much
I joined her fan club boy did i ever feel young
I couldn't stop myself i was so badly stung
I found out where she lived i quit my job to find
This flicker in the dark i couldn't leave behind
Someone else should've been thinking for me
They would've said an actress only gives you half the story
I went to santa barbara and tried to find that girl
But no one can ever tell you it's impossible...
I hitchhiked home and i got my old job back
I had to take their shit i had to watch them laugh
Now i spend my nights in front of my t.v.
I finally figured out just what she means to me
No one else has to do my thinking for me
I want my actress to just only tell me half the story
The half i saw was more than enough
The half i saw was almost too much
