Lyrics for Song: The Girl I Left Behind Me
Lyrics for Album: Instant Reply [1969]
You told me not to try and tie you down
So I just took my place and hung around
You always said that you must be free
Well, you couldn't see you were losing me
And messing up the one good thing we had
I'm going out the same way I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
Down inside, I feel a lack
But this time, girl, I won't be back
And years from now, I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
I told myself that things would be okay
You'd come around to my way any day
As time went on, you just stayed the same
No, you, you couldn't change, or be rearranged
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
I'm going out the same way I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
Down inside, I feel a lack
But this time, girl, I won't be back
And years from now, I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
I'm picking up the pieces of my life
I'm going out the same way I came in
The game is over now, I couldn't win
Down inside, I feel a lack
But this time, girl, I won't be back
And years from now, I'll turn around and see
The girl I left behind me
