I had a girl Yeah "had" is the word I tried to hold on But it was pretty absurd She said she loved me And I said I loved her too But we weren't having any fun So what could I do I let her slip away Away I let her slip away Away I had a car Yeah the colour was blue It kept breaking down So what could I do I put an ad in the paper You know I called it a steal Then this guy came to see it And we struck up a deal I let it slip away Away I let her slip away Away I had a thought You know I thought it a lot I thought I was smart And now I know that I'm not I let it slip away Away I let her slip away Away [repeat 2 times]
