There's a picture that I carry, One we made some time ago If they ask who's in the picture with me, I say just a girl, I used to know Just a girl, I used to go around with Just a friend, from long ago, I don't tell them how lost I am without her I say she's just a girl, I used to know. I say, she's just another girl now Just a flame, that's lost it's glow And I say, her name has slipped my mind now, And she's just a girl, I used to know Just a girl, I used to spend some time with Just a friend, from long ago, I don't talk about the nights I cry without her I say she's just a girl I used to know Just a girl I used to know
