lyrics

Now that we’re through, I’ve got the pictures, and the ghosts of perfumes cling to the fixtures. I don’t know what to do with all the loving that I saved just for you.

I know you – you’ve got to run, and you were never gonna be my girl. (Ooo, GIRL!) I know you – you had your fun, but you were never gonna be my girl. (Ooo, GIRL!)

Where have they gone, all of the people that I knew? One by one I watched them vanish in the noon of the sun. But all this damage only you could have done. I’ve got them old Bible blues, like when they paired off on the ark, two by two. I watched you embarking, and I barked at the moon. I’m just a creature in the darkest deluge.

I know you’re a chosen one, and you were never gonna be my girl. (Ooo, GIRL!) I know you were frozen once, and you were never gonna be my girl. (Ooo, GIRL!)

There now, doesn’t she move you? Doesn’t she belong in another song? In another song. All her graces confuse you. Move your feet along; write another song. Write another song.

I know you had your fun, but you were never gonna be my girl. (Ooo, GIRL!) I know you – you’ve got to run, and you were never gonna be my girl. (Ooo, GIRL!)

And I was never gonna be your one, cause I was never gonna be no one.

(Ooo!)
