Take a girl like that and put her in a natural setting
like a cafe for example. Along comes the boy and he's looking for trouble with a girl like that, with a girl like that. Who knows what they'll decide to do? Who knows what they'll get up to? I'd love to know. Wouldn't you?

CHORUS:
I love to listen to... I love to listen to... I love to listen to... I love to listen to... I love to listen to Beethoven. I love to listen to Beethoven. I love to listen to Beethoven.

You think you know just what you want but you have used that weapon agianst me. Did I tell you I was lying, by the way, when I said I wanted a new mink coat? I was just thinking about something sleek to wrap around my tender throat. I was dreaming like a Texan girl. A girl who thinks she's got the right to everything. A girl who thinks she should have something extreme.

CHORUS:
I love to listen to... I love to listen to... I love to listen to... I love to listen to... I love to listen to Beethoven. I love to listen to Beethoven. I love to listen to Beethoven.
