“The Girl I Knew Somewhere (live)”
Lyrics Permalink
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 through faces
That bring to mind traces of a girl
A girl that I knew somewhere
I just can’t put my finger on what it is
That says to me, “Watch out, don’t believe her”
I [???] down in a whirl
My thoughts are bound down 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
[break]
So, goodbye, dear, I just can’t take this chance again (Goodbye, dear, I just can’t take this chance again)
My fingers are still burning from the last time (My fingers are still burning from the last time)
And if your love was not a game
I only have myself to blame
That’s 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’s as may be, I can’t explain, just ask
The girl that I knew somewhere
Micky: Thank you very much. And now, our velvet-voiced midget will sing that song that’s warmed your hearts for so these many years. Yes, our own Davy Jones, singing to you the way, the very way that we feel here tonight.
