Lyrics Roberta Flack

Roberta Flack

I'm the Girl

For reasons that my fate knows best

I saw a boy one day

With charm and manner he was blessed

He smiled my way

I loved him then, but that's old hat

I love him now, it's true

He likes me, yes, no more than that

The one he really loves is you

I am the girl that he'll meet

I am the girl that he'll look at and smile

But I am the one

That he'll leave after a while

I am the girl

I am the girl who will be

His when he finds that he's lonesome for you

With things that you're too busy to do

I am the girl

I am the girl

That he calls up at three

And I am the one

Who will go

I'd be so terribly happy to be

The one who says yes

After you have said no

And I am the one

Who will wait

Wait, even sometimes

When he won't appear

And I'll wait for him

If the waiting takes years

Yes, I am the girl
