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
