He wants to take her out to a movie

But he's not sure if he wants to go

And he don't wanna take it too quickly

And he don't wanna take it too slow

Yeah, she's the kind of girl he's always dreamed of

Oh, but this time it looks like it's real

And he knows she makes him feel happy

But he don't know what he wants to feel



(chorus)

It's a little disaster -- little disaster

He wants everything to work out perfect

But she only wants to be with him



He buys her flowers that he never sends her

'cause he's afraid she might misunderstand

And then he knows he might not deliver

The love that he knows she'll demand



Yeah, and he's ready for the altar

But suddenly he's running away

And he knows he'll love her forever

But he don't know if he wants to stay



Chorus



He loves her (he loves her) -- he can't understand

Why it should be such a struggle

He's happy (he's happy) -- but it's not enough

Somehow he still ends up lonely... lonely



Well there's a train that leaves saturday morning

So she can summer with friends out of state

And it feels like it came without warning

And all of his words are too late



Yeah, and he stammers and stares at the station

And her bags are as heavy as lead

And he wanted to tell her he loved her

But the train pulls away instead



Chorus

It's a little disaster -- little disaster -- little disaster

He wants everything to work out perfect

But she only wants to be with him

Little disaster -- little disaster -- little disaster...
