Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Once a girl took my love until I couldn´t give anymore, Then I tried to pretend no to see what I couldn´t ignore. My girl don´t love me at all Anymore. I took her to the dance and then I didn´t see her all night. Then a friend said he saw her with some other boy just outside. When I went out she was alone. She said, "I would like to go home" I asked her, "Who were you with?" She said, "No-one." I could tell that she lied (And a voice said inside) My girl don´t love me at all Anymore. Not at all.
