Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I can still recall the time She said she was always mine Then she left (as people do,) And forgets what we've been through (Does this sound familiar to you ?) It's not that she's gone away It's the things I hear she has got to say About me - and about my friends When we've got no defence. That's her: I'll never believe her again. She might have deceived all my friends I know they will see in the end What it all means when she says (Yeah!) I want you back (She says) But what's worse: She thinks it's true But that's just her (She always was a little bit confused!) She's not worth the time I had to lose.
