ELVIS COSTELLO - What's Her Name Today? lyrics

rate me

What's her name today?

What's her name today?

She could be anyone

I might have known you'd leave her crying

What's her name again?

You should be ashamed

How could you treat her so unspeakably?

Or did you think she was a different girl?

For as the radio played in the bedroom wall

What was that name you called her?

Was she the one who took away your pride

And your reason?

Oh, why did you decide that

You'd punish any girl you meet

To try and make that feeling go away?

What's her name today?

What's her name today?

Is her hair hanging down?

Or maybe it's fixed with a ribbon

Are her eyes still blue?

Should she trust in you?

Because it's a lonely world

She wants to believe for a while in all the things you say

But as the radio played in the bedroom wall

What was that name you called her?

Isn't her smile reminiscent of someone else?

Well, is it or isn't it?

Oh, why did you decide that

You'd punish any girl you meet

To try and make that feeling go away?

What's her name today?

Is she going to stay

So you can ruin her?

And soon she'll be twisted in chiffon

Dress her like a doll

String her like a pearl

She hears peals of bells, but it's hard to tell

Now that she's hung up like a chandelier

What's her name?

What's her name?

What's her name today?
