“Forget That Girl” Lyrics
Forget that girl
She’ll only make you sad someday
Forget that girl
She’ll never make you happy
Stay away from her, my friend
Stay away from her
Forget that girl (Ah-ah)
She’ll only bring you down again (Ah-ah)
Forget that girl (Ah-ah)
She’ll only make you lonely (Lonely)
Stay away from her, my friend
Stay away from her
There was a time when she could really love you (Ah)
When she was thinking only of you (Ah)
But now she’s put herself above you (Ah-ah)
And there’s nothing you can do (Ah-ah-ah)
Forget that girl (Ah-ah)
Even though you find it’s hard (Ah-ah)
Forget that girl (Ah-ah)
Even though you love her (Love her)
She’s in love with him, my friend
She’s in love with him, oh yeah
She’s in love with him
Forget that girl (Forget that girl), forget that girl (Forget that girl)
Forget that girl (Forget that girl), forget that girl (Forget that girl)
Forget that girl (Forget that girl), forget that girl (Forget that girl)
Forget that girl (Forget that girl)
