Lyrics

The Girl I Used To Know
Copyright Pope / Young 2005

Verse
You're not the girl I used to know
Everybody's telling me it's so
Every night I wonder if you're ever coming home
There's a lot of things I have to know

Bridge
I got the word that you're back in town
I wanna know if you're coming round
I wanna see you when you get home tonight
Too many words were left unsaid
Thoughts still in my head
Im gonna ask you when you get home tonight

Verse
I listen to the rumours going round
And they all put your reputation down
You're seen in shady places if you know what I mean
And even certain substances were found

Bridge

Refrain
You're not the girl I used to know (X3)
But baby I want you now

Spoken
So you turned up at my door looking like something I've never seen before. And my first instinct was to run away, slam the door in your face and hope you'd never come back again. But I remembered in my head things that were done things that were said and shared together. Maybe it wasn't true the stuff I'd heard about you, it could of been lies.
I stared closely at your face looking for tell-tale signs, were you on the level this time? As the seconds went by I couldn't decide, I looked even closer into your eyes. Then you held out your hand, I had to take a chance and without thinking I pulled you inside.

Refrain
Your not the girl I used to know (X3)
But baby I want you now . . . look out, look out.
