She
The Monkees · Original Album Series [2012]
(Sheee...)
She told me that she loved me
And like a fool, I believed her from the start
(Sheee...)
She said she'd never hurt me
But then she turned around and broke my heart
(Whyyy...)
Why am I standing here, missing her,
And wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone
(Sheee...)
She devoured all my sweet love
Took all I had, and then she fed me dirt
(Sheee...)
She laughed when I was cryin'
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt
(Whyyy...)
Why am I standing here, missing her,
And wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone
And now I know just why she
Keeps me hangin' 'round
(Hangin' 'round...)
She needs someone to walk on
So her feet don't touch the ground
(Don't touch the ground)
But I love her (Love her)
I need her (Need her)
I want her (Want her)
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah yeah yeah...)
(Shee...)
She....
(Whyyy...)
Why am I standing here, missing her,
And wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong, now
(Hey!) I'm better off alone
Why am I missing her?
(She...)
I should be kissing her...
She told me that she loved me
And like a fool, I believed her from the start
(Sheee...)
She said she'd never hurt me
But then she turned around and broke my heart
(Whyyy...)
Why am I standing here, missing her,
And wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone
(Sheee...)
She devoured all my sweet love
Took all I had, and then she fed me dirt
(Sheee...)
She laughed when I was cryin'
It was such a joke to see the way it hurt
(Whyyy...)
Why am I standing here, missing her,
And wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong
(Hey!) I'm better off alone
And now I know just why she
Keeps me hangin' 'round
(Hangin' 'round...)
She needs someone to walk on
So her feet don't touch the ground
(Don't touch the ground)
But I love her (Love her)
I need her (Need her)
I want her (Want her)
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Yeah, yeah yeah yeah...)
(Shee...)
She....
(Whyyy...)
Why am I standing here, missing her,
And wishing she were here?
(Hey!) She only did me wrong, now
(Hey!) I'm better off alone
Why am I missing her?
