Shins - Goodbye Girl lyrics

rate me

I met her in a poolroom

Her name I didn't catch

She looks like something special

The kind who'd understand

The room was almost spinning

She pulled another smile

She had the grace like pleasure

She had a certain style

Sunlight on the lino

Woke me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she'd gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

She took me to her hotel

The room on the second floor

A kettle and two coffees

The number on the door

She said I hardly know you

Agreed we kissed goodnight

I knew that in the morning

Somehow I'd wake to find

Sunlight on the lino

Waken me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she'd gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

I lost my silver razor

My clubroom locker keys

The money in the waistcoat

It doesn't bother me

My wife has moved to Jersey

So mum is not the word

If you ever see her

Say hello goodbye girl

Sunlight on the lino

Woke me with a shake

I looked around to find her but she'd gone

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl

Goodbye girl
