Verse 1 One likes country music, one can’t stand the sound, One grew up in the city, one in a little town. One talks a mile a minute, one takes her sweet old time, One laughs at all my stories, one just rolls her eyes. Some are shy and quiet, some walk in like they own the room, Every date’s a different story, every night a different tune. I never know just who I’ll meet or where the night might start, That’s what I love about the getting-to-know-you part. Chorus It’s the getting to know you, Finding out what makes you smile, What you love, what drives you crazy, What can keep you talking awhile. Everybody’s got a story, Everybody leaves a mark, And half the fun of dating Is the getting-to-know-you part. I don’t need to know forever, I’m just enjoying where we are, Yeah, there’s something kind of magic In the getting-to-know-you part. Verse 2 One loves Sunday mornings, one stays out till two, One wants beaches every summer, one likes mountain views. One orders something fancy, one just wants a beer, One will tell you everything, one makes you earn each little piece you hear. Some make conversation easy, some take a little time, Some have got me laughing before we even order wine. And every little difference is another place to start, That’s the beauty of the getting-to-know-you part. Chorus It’s the getting to know you, Finding out what makes you smile, What you love, what drives you crazy, What can keep you talking awhile. Everybody’s got a story, Everybody leaves a mark, And half the fun of dating Is the getting-to-know-you part. I don’t need to know forever, I’m just enjoying where we are, Yeah, there’s something kind of magic In the getting-to-know-you part. Bridge There’s the nervous first hello, The “should I call?” and “should I wait?” Trying to read a little meaning In the way she ends the date. Maybe there’s another dinner, Maybe that’s as far as we go, But there’s always something interesting In somebody new to know. Verse 3 One’s got dreams of traveling, one loves staying home, One’s been through a broken heart and learned to stand alone. One makes every silence easy, one fills up every space, One’s got a way of talking that puts a smile across my face. And maybe one day someone comes along and changes everything, But right now I like the mystery that every new date brings. A new laugh, a new perspective, another opening of the heart, Yeah, I’m having fun just living in the getting-to-know-you part. Final Chorus It’s the getting to know you, Every story, every style, Every little unexpected thing That makes somebody worthwhile. No two women are the same, That’s what makes it all an art, And half the fun of dating Is the getting-to-know-you part. Maybe someday one stays forever, Maybe that’s where all this starts, But for now I’m loving every minute Of the getting-to-know-you part. Outro Different stories, different smiles, Different roads and different hearts— Man, there’s nothing quite as much fun As the getting-to-know-you part.
