The Girl I Knew Somewhere

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 can't give any reasons girl,

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 this same thing was done.

Someone, somewhere did me this same wrong.



Well, goodbye dear, i just can't take this chance again.

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.
