[Verse 1]
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes each one she passes goes "Ah"
When she walks she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when she passes each one she passes goes "Ah"
[Bridge]
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
[Verse 2]
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes I smile
But she doesn't see
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Oh, but I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her I love her?
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me
[Outro]
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes I smile
But she doesn't see
When she passes I smile
But she doesn't see
She doesn't see
She doesn't see
