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
