When she was two
   Mama told her what to do
   Sit and behave
   Don't make a sound now
   When she was eight
   She had found a different fate
   Moving her friends
   Up and down now
   When the clock had moved some more
   She could open any door she pleased
   She's a Koto girl
   Playing eighteen string guitar
   Been around
   All the eastern world
   She can't leave now, but her dreams still travel far
   Now She is grown
   Has a life all of her own
   Plays all the time
   Just to be seen now
   I met her here
   Drinking cold ASAHI beer
   Or could have been
   A grass of tsing tao
   I walked up and asked her please
   She replied hello in cantonese
   She's a Koto Girl
   Who knows what she wants to be
   Been around
   All the eastern world
   But hopes someday for a life where she is free
   Don't go away (I want to be with you)
   I tried to say (Come on, let's see it through)
   But she's got those
   Stars in her eyes
   Shanghai, goodbye
   Signed a major record deal
   Now she plays TV shows in high hells
   She's a Koto girl
   A dream come true superstar
   Been around all the eastern world
   But Koto girl wants to climb the billboard charts
   She's a Koto girl
   Playing eighteen strings guitar
   What a sound
   Heard around the world this Koto girl (Koto girl) has got her strings
   Wrapped around my heart
