The Girl I Knew

[Verse 1]
Thought love had come my way
When I saw you face to face
When you looked at me that way
In Covent Garden that day

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What did I do wrong to make you doubt me?
Why did you change?

[Chorus]
The girl I knew always made me smile
The girl I knew wanted my first child
The girl I knew wouldn't make me cry
But she's gone and left home tonight
Left me on my own tonight

[Verse 1]
Of all the days we spent together
And the endless movie nights
Said we'd always last forever
And I never thought you'd lie

[Pre-Chorus 2]
How did I lose my best friend?
And, what happens now?

[Chorus]
The girl I knew always made me smile
The girl I knew wanted my first child
The girl I knew wouldn't make me cry
But she's gone and left home tonight

[Post-Chorus]
The girl I knew
Wouldn't want the things I never had
The girl I knew
Told me I could always make her laugh

[Bridge]
Now she's living on her own
And she's listening to sad songs
And I'm waiting for the day she calls my phone
And she says that she was wrong

[Chorus]
The girl I knew always made me smile
The girl I knew wanted my first child
The girl I knew wouldn't make me cry
But she's gone and left home tonight

[Outro]
The girl I knew, please come home tonight
The girl I knew always made things right
The girl I knew, I can't live without
And I need you home tonight
Just us, just you and I
