Nerina Pallot - The Girl From Lakeville lyrics

rate me

The girl comes from Lakeville

Her dad - he cuts hair.

It's a small town in the middle of nowhere.

In tried and tested fashion

She took a plane and headed west

To a city of neuroses, to the one that I love best.

Did you think I couldn't feel it from 5000 miles away?

That I wouldn't sense betrayal in the things he could

not say?

I may be ditsy - I know I'm uncool

But I'm not like you.

Sierra Bonita

That you'll never be.

And I figure for that you'll always hate me.

But beauty is affliction

It scars you from the rest

I only wanted to be ordinary, to be no more, to have

no less.

Did you think he wouldn't think of me when you moved

your hand down there?

That he wouldn't think it strange to run his fingers

through your hair?

Is the one thing that you want the thing you know

you'll never have?

Three lonely people - it's one sorry mess.

Oh my girlfriend, girlfriend

I dig the book you bought

Hey my girlfriend, girlfriend

The record was cool

Oh my girlfriend, girlfriend

You know you made me smile

Oh my girlfriend, girlfriend

I thought we'd be friends for a while...

I thought that we'd be, I thought we'd be friends

girl.

What'ya do it for? Hey, what'ya do it for?

Why'd ya make me cry, little girl? Cry.

Oh the books and records, clouds in mind, I think of

you, think of him sometimes...

What'ya do it for?

I won't think about it, I won't think about it

Ever again.<br><br>Thanks to thudord
