Lyrics
Whatsername
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Unforgettable face, I can't think of her name
It's on the edge of my tongue, gathering dust in the back of my brain
Something 'bout the way she ignores me that's vaguely familiar
Makes you wonder what it was you ever did to thrill her
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here I go again
I never felt the need to soothe her savage breast
She never felt obliged to tell me of her change of address
Caught me on a downward swing but I fell through her arms
How could I be so careless, I never meant to go so far
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here I go again
Oh she's back in town
Oh she's back in town
I'm not leaving
I'm running away
She took it all away, now she's back for the rest
Took it all so easy, wouldn't settle for less
She doesn't know what she wants but she knows how to get it
I can't remember the time, she never let me forget it
Here we go again
Here we go again
Here I go again
Oh Whatsername's back in town
She's back in town
I'm not leaving
I'm running away
Oh she's back in town
Oh she's back in town
I'm not leaving
I'm running away
