“The Girl from Chelsea”

In Chelsea, there’s a girl
Working in a little coffee shop there
She’s got such a pretty smile
And every chance I get, I stop there

I can’t get her off my mind
I’m so in love with the girl from Chelsea
Oh yeah (The girl from Chelsea)
Oh yeah, the girl from Chelsea

She doesn’t care for me
I’m just a hang around who’s there to talk with
And though I wait until they close
There’s always someone else she’d rather walk with

But I love her just the same (Just the same)
I can’t forget the girl from Chelsea
Oh yeah (The girl from Chelsea)
Oh yeah, the girl from Chelsea

I buy her little presents
But she wants none of them
And her friends don’t like me much
’Cause I’m not one of them

If I’d a pocket full of gold
She’s the girl I’d give it all away for
She’s got everything I want
Seeing her is what I live each day for

I know she can’t be mine (Can’t be mine)
Oh, but I love the girl from Chelsea
Oh yeah (The girl from Chelsea)
Oh yeah, the girl from Chelsea (The girl from Chelsea)
The girl from Chelsea (The girl from Chelsea)
The girl from Chelsea (The girl from Chelsea)
The girl from Chelsea
