Not the Girl

You're not the girl that I once knew
Now you're so much more
The sun and the moon came up for you
As I lay on the floor
Don't need no bed, don't need no rest
All I want is you
Don't need my right, don't need my left
All I want is you
To hold me tight all
through my life
I'll make you feel alright
every night
I wish I knew who took my place
Was I ever there
The wind hit hard and
scorned my face
Love's for those who dare
Don't need no songs, don't need no books
All I want is you
Don't need no second look
All I want is you
To hold me tight all
through my life
I'll make you feel alright
every night
In the grass that's where I lie
Sleep beneath the sun
With daffodils and
dragonflies
She's the only one
Don't need no recks, don't need no will
All I want is you
I don't even need myself
All I want is you
To hold me tight all
through my life
I'll make you feel alright
every night
Night, night, night
