Wendy
Beach Boys · Other Songs - Beach Boys
We went together for so long,
I never thought a guy could cry,
'Til you made it with another guy,
Oh, Wendy ..... Wendy left me alone.
Wendy ... Wendy don't lose your head ... lose your head,
Wendy ... don't believe a word he says,
I can't picture you with him,
His future looks awful dim,
Oh, Wendy ..... Wendy left me alone.
(SOLO)
Wendy ... I wouldn't hurt you like that ... no, no, no,
I thought we had our love down pat ... guess I was wrong,
The farthest thing from my mind,
Was the day that I'd wake up to find,
My Wendy ..... Wendy left me alone.
