i'm the girl

for reasons that my fate knows best

i saw a boy one day

with charm and manner he was blessed

he smiled my way

i loved him then

but that's old hat

i love him now

it's true

he likes me

yes

no more than that

the one he really loves is you

i am the girl that he'll meet

i am the girl that he'll look at and smile

but i am the one

that he'll leave after a while

i am the girl

i am the girl who will be

his when he finds that he's lonesome for you

with things that you're too busy to do

i am the girl

i am the girl

that he calls up at three

and i am the one

who will go

i'd be so terribly happy to be

the one who says yes

after you have said no

and i am the one

who will wait

wait

even sometimes

when he won't appear

and i'll wait for him

if the waiting takes years

yes

i am the girl
