Somebody Else\'s Girl
by Corny Held
First she had thought it was a good night
And she was sort of happy And she felt all right
Then something happened to change her mood
The guy she was with, oh boy, he was cute
suddenly told her he weren' going to stay with her for too long a time
And she was hurt, falling out of her dream
Helplessness can be so strong when revealed
Why can't he say what she's trying to tell him
Why can't he say what she wants to believe
Why does it hurt so much, why is it evil
that she's somebody else's girl already
First he looked forward to seeing her that night
Untilshe came everything seemed all right
Then he remembered how she used to live
And he forgot how much she could give
All other times they had been tzogether without thinking of fear
He said she'd been hurting him And it still was all right
But disappointment can't be a good guide
Why can't he say what she's trying to tell him
Why can't he say what she wants to believe
Why does it hurt so much, why is it evil
that she's somebody else's girl already
Where are they going, going alone?
Misunderstandings to drive it all home
So many nights with hope in their hearts
stories need endings only after they start
Can you enjoy what is never destroyed 'cause it won't fit into time?
It'll be all right for him again
She'll meet him later And there's nothing to end
Why can't he say what she's trying to tell him
Why can't he say what she wants to believe
Why does it hurt so much, why is it evil
that she's somebody else's girl already
And she was sort of happy And she felt all right
Then something happened to change her mood
The guy she was with, oh boy, he was cute
suddenly told her he weren' going to stay with her for too long a time
And she was hurt, falling out of her dream
Helplessness can be so strong when revealed
Why can't he say what she's trying to tell him
Why can't he say what she wants to believe
Why does it hurt so much, why is it evil
that she's somebody else's girl already
