Girl In Room
Smithereens · Other Songs - Smithereens
And she's waiting for me
For the past seven days
But I haven't been free
I got a wife back at home and a life, no regret
Still I think about her faceand I just can't forget
A girl in room 12 and she's waiting alone
She waits in the bed with head by the phone
She can't understand why it just couldn't be
A girl in room 12 and she's waiting for me
CHORUS
Girl in room 12
Girl in room 12
Girl in room 12
WEll, she came from New York
And she moved to this town
Took a one room apartment
For no money down
She feels so alone and she needed a man
Now I just can't recall how it got out of hand
A girl in room 12
And she's waiting alone
She waits in the bed with her head by the phone
She can't understand why it just couldn'T be
A girl in room 12 and she's waiting for me
CHORUS
Girl In Room
