The Girlfriend

[Refrain]

Write about the simple way that I don't

Write about the simple way that I don't

Write about the simple way that I don't

[Verse 1]

Oh, she's staring at the sky

There's quite a lot of space there, but nothing in her eyes

Calling to her number one

She's got an ample ego from all the sops she's won

[Chorus]

Everybody's talking about her messing around with your mind

It's such a tired town

Everybody's waiting around for you to decipher her signs

It's she who'll wear the crown

You've got to live it down

If God is still around

[Refrain]

Write about the simple way that I don't

Write about the simple way that I don't

Write about the simple way (ooh, write about the simple way) that I don't

Write about the simple way (ooh, write about the simple way) that I don't

[Verse 2]

What if someone's out of sight?

I'll find a way to tell her that something isn't right

What if you're not coming home?

I'll find a way to tell her I'd rather live alone

[Chorus]

Everybody's talking about her messing around with your mind

It's such a tired town

Everybody's waiting around for you to decipher her signs

It's she who'll wear the crown

You've got to live it down

If someone's still around

[Solo]

Is someone still around?

[Refrain]

Write about the simple way (ooh, write about the simple way) that I don't

Write about the simple way (ooh, write about the simple way) that I don't

Write about the simple way (ooh, write about the simple way) that I don't

Write about the simple way (ooh, write about the simple way) that I don't

Hey, and I won't (ooh, write about the simple way)

(Ooh, write about the simple way

Ooh, write about the simple way

Ooh, write about the simple way

Ooh...)
