Elvis Costello Lyrics for Song: What's Her Name Today?
 Lyrics for Album: Painted from Memory [1998]
 
 
 
 4986>What's her name today?
 
 What's her name today?
 
 She could be anyone
 
 I might have known you'd leave her crying
 
 What's her name again?
 
 You should be ashamed
 
 How could you treat her so unspeakably?
 
 Or did you think she was a different girl?
 
 
 
 For as the radio played in the bedroom wall
 
 What was that name you called her?
 
 Was she the one who took away your pride
 
 And your reason?
 
 Oh, why did you decide that
 
 You'd punish any girl you meet
 
 To try and make that feeling go away?
 
 
 
 What's her name today?
 
 What's her name today?
 
 Is her hair hanging down?
 
 Or maybe it's fixed with a ribbon
 
 
 
 Are her eyes still blue?
 
 Should she trust in you?
 
 Because it's a lonely world
 
 She wants to believe for a while in all the things you say
 
 
 
 But as the radio played in the bedroom wall
 
 What was that name you called her?
 
 Isn't her smile reminiscent of someone else?
 
 Well, is it or isn't it?
 
 Oh, why did you decide that
 
 You'd punish any girl you meet
 
 To try and make that feeling go away?
 
 
 
 What's her name today?
 
 Is she going to stay
 
 So you can ruin her?
 
 And soon she'll be twisted in chiffon
 
 
 
 Dress her like a doll
 
 String her like a pearl
 
 She hears peals of bells, but it's hard to tell
 
 Now that she's hung up like a chandelier
 
 
 
 What's her name?
 
 What's her name?
 
 What's her name today?
