Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from ipanema goes walking
And when he passes
Each girl he passes goes a-a-h
When he walks he's like a samba
He swings so cool and sways so gentle
That when he passes
Each girl he passes goes a-a-h
Ooh but i watch him so sadly
How can i tell him i love him
Yes i would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead not at me
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from ipanema goes walking
And when he passes
I smile but he doesn't see
No he doesn’t see
He doesn’t see me
Ooh but i watch him so sadly
How can i tell him i love him
Yes i would give my heart gladly
But each day when he walks to the sea
He looks straight ahead not at me
Tall and tan and young and handsome
The boy from ipanema goes walking
And when he passes
I smile but he doesn't see
He just doesn't see
