[Verse 1]
I've got the measles and she's got the mumps
I'm sick of waiting by the door in case she comes home
You won't believe it but don't you want to know?
I let her go but I can't let her go
I don't wanna hear it
[Pre Chorus]
I'm singin' too high tonight I'm gonna lose my voice
I heard her on the radio
Don't want to sing along but I've got no choice
[Chorus]
She used to be my girl
But now she's famous (she's famous now)
She used to be my girl
But now she's famous (she's famous now)
She was just so sweet
And now they're fallin' at her feet
She used to be my girl but now she's--
[Verse 2]
I eat the muscle and she eats the leaves
High cholesterol and heart disease yeah
You'll never touch the way that I feel
Just for the record she got the deal
I don't wanna hear it
[Pre Chorus]
I'm saying goodbye tonight I just can't stand the noise
She's signin' autographs
Don't wanna say I know her but I've go no choice
[Chorus]
She used to be my girl
But now she's famous (she's famous now)
She used to be my girl
But now she's famous (she's famous now)
She was just so sweet
And now they're fallin' at her feet
She used to be my girl but now she's--
[Guitar Solo]
Woah let's go!
Woo!
Well she's like me just not as ugly
[Chorus]
She used to be my girl
But now she's famous (she's famous now)
She used to be my girl
But now she's--
She was just so sweet
She was just so sweet
She was just so sweet
And now the're fallin' at her feet
She used to be my girl but now she's--
[Outro]
Famous now
