Somebody oughta tell that girl She's livin' in a dreamers' world That boy is gone as gone can be But it won't be me No, it won't be me Somebody oughta set her straight She oughta give up the wait He'll never give up being free But it won't be me No, it won't be me To see her fall apart would be more than I could bear I'm just too close to that girl in the mirror there Somebody oughta let her know She's gotta let him go It's time to face reality But it won't be me No, it won't be me To see her fall apart would be more than I could bear I'm just too close to that girl in the mirror there Somebody oughta let her know She's gotta let him go It's time to face reality But it won't be me No, it won't be me Well it won't be me No, it won't be me
