Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well the first time that I saw her Standing in the middle of the road Eyes as bright as Christmas lights Wearing someone else's clothes I did my best to ignore her But ignoring my best pretty soon We spent the night all tangled tight In an armchair in my friend's front room [Chorus 1] I said, "Darling you know, darling you know I can't stay 'Cause I've given my heart and my word to a girl far away" I felt weak as she kissed my cheek, and sighed when I heard her say "Never knew I could get my heart broken in less than a day" [Verse 2] Oh, and the next time that I saw her Must have been a year or more Face stained with mascara Shiverin' outside my door I did my best to assure her But assurance isn't easy to give If you've never been sure of anything much You get less so the longer you live [Chorus 2] She said, "Darling you know, darling you know I can't stay 'Cause I've given my heart and my word to a boy far away" I spoke soft and pretended to cough, like I didn't care either way Never knew I could get my heart broken in so many ways [Verse 3] And the last time that I saw her Standing in the pouring rain Hair a little shorter But everything else looked the same I could'a told her that I adored her She could'a said she felt the same way But we just smiled 'cause sometimes words Aren't the right words to say [Outro] We just smiled 'cause sometimes words Aren't the right words to say
