The Girl I Used to Know

George Jones · Sings More New Favorites [1964]

(Jack Clement)



There's a picture that I carry

One we made some time ago

If they ask who's in the picture with me

I say just a girl I used to know.



Just a girl I used to go around with

Just a friend from long ago

I don't tell them how lost I am without her

I say she's just a girl I used to know



--- Instrumental ---



I say she's just another girl now

Just a flame that's lost its glow

And I say her name has slipped my mind now

And she's just a girl I used to know.



Just a girl I used to spend some time with

Just a friend from long ago

I don't talk about the nights I cried about her

I say she's just a girl I used to know.



Just a girl I used to know...
