The Girl I Knew Somewhere
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.
You tell me that you've never been this way before
You tell me things I know that I've heard somewhere
You're standing in the places and you're staring down throughfaces
That bring to mind traces of a girl, a girl that I knewsomewhere
I just can't put my finger on what it is
That says to me, 'Watch out! Don't believe her,'
I can't give any reasons, girl
My thoughts are bound out in a whirl
I just can't think who in the world was that girl
I know I met her somewhere
Someway, somehow, the same thing was done
Someone, somewhere, did me the same wrong
So goodbye, dear, I just can't take this chance again
My fingers are still burning from the last time
And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame
That as may be, I can't explain
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere
And if your love was not a game, I only have myself to blame
That as may be, I can't explain
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere
