The Girl I Knew

Thought love had come my way

When I saw you face to face

When you looked at me that way

In Covent Garden that day

What did I do wrong to make you doubt me?

Why did you change?

The girl I knew always made me smile

The girl I knew wanted my first child

The girl I knew wouldn't make me cry

But she's gone and left home tonight

Left me on my own tonight

Of all the days we spent together

And the endless movie nights

Said we'd always last forever

And I never thought you'd lie

How did I lose my best friend?

And, what happens now?

The girl I knew always made me smile

The girl I knew wanted my first child

The girl I knew wouldn't make me cry

But she's gone and left home tonight

The girl I knew

Wouldn't want more things I've ever had

The girl I knew

Told me I could always make her laugh

Now she's living on her own

And she's listening to sad songs

And I'm waiting for the day she calls my phone

And she says that she was wrong

The girl I knew always made me smile

The girl I knew wanted my first child

The girl I knew wouldn't make me cry

But she's gone and left home tonight

The girl I knew please come home tonight

The girl I knew always made things right

The girl I knew I can't live without

And I need you home tonight

Just us, just you and I
