Through the automatic doors, my shopping cart ran into hers

Our eyes met for a second then she turned away

After just a little while went into the canned goods aisle

And she was just standing there smiling

I was hoping she'd look at me

But she was checking out the lima beans

And artichokes, my heart was broke in pieces

By my supermarket fantasy

Didn't want to seem obsessed, I checked Farina off my list

But I couldn't keep my mind off those perfect lips

Saw her start to walk my way, thought everything would be okay

And then I ran into the Cocoa Puffs display

Hurried to the checkout line

Wishing I could push back time

I looked around and she was right behind me

Wanna clip your coupons, girl, wanna squeeze your Charmin, too

I wanna be your grocery bagger forever

We'll go shopping every night up and down the empty aisles

And I'll always make sure your melons are ripe

But I can't get up the nerve

I could have the best buys in the world

But I'll never share a shopping cart with her
