Brand New Girl
Rick Nelson · Rick Nelson Box Set [Legacy] [2000]
Said you would be true
I caught you cheatin' and runnin' around
Now here's what I'm gonna do.
I told you about it baby
Stop your lyin' to me
I'm tellin' you for the last time now
I'm gonna set you free.
I remember back
When things were fine
I spent my money
And wasted my time.
Oh honey
It's a brand new world
And I'm gonna find
Me a brand new girl.
--- Instrumental ---
I remember back
When things were fine
I spent my money
And wasted my time.
Oh honey,
It's a brand new world
And I'm gonna find me
A brand new girl.
Yes, I told you
That you loved me
Said you would be true.
I caught you cheatin'
And runnin' around
Now here's what I'm gonna do.
I told you about it baby
Stop your lyin' to me
I'm tellin' you for the last time now
I'm gonna set you free...
